The purpose of this edited volume is to examine the disconnect in
the sexual violence prevention field between legislation, research
and practice. The work is focused primarily on United States
policies and initiatives, with key case studies internationally.
Contributions show that current policies are mainly based on repeat
offenders: residence restrictions, registration and notification
statutes, and post-sentence initiatives. While these initiatives
address public fears, they are not evidence-based and do not
necessarily reduce offending. Research shows that post-sentence
policies may destabilize offenders and limit their ability to
reintegrate with society at a critical period, therefore increasing
the chances of recidivism. Furthermore, the majority of sex crimes
(95%) are committed by first time offenders. This innovative book
is divided into two parts juxtaposing what is currently being done
legislatively with what the research evidence suggests would be
best practice.
