This work is an exploratory examination of the experiences,
motivations, and coping mechanisms of women who are involved in
intimate relationships with registered sexual offenders. The study
focuses both on women who were involved with an offender prior to
the commission of his offense and who stayed with him
post-conviction, and on women who became involved with a registered
offender after his sex offense conviction. Like the offender
himself, these women face a variety of challenges in responding to
treatment of them by friends, family, the community, and the
criminal justice system. Utilizing the results of intensive
interviews, this work provides a unique look at the women who are
one of the few sources of support for registered sexual offenders
and assesses the effectiveness and wide-ranging implications of
community notification and registration laws on public safety,
policy, and practice. This work offers alternative approaches based
on evidence and case studies and considers the significance of
familial contact in buffering sexual recidivism. These women are
the heretofore unstudied victims of sexual offending legislation.
This book is essential reading for those in sociology, criminology,
psychology, and social work. For undergraduate or graduate
students, practitioners, researchers, or policy makers, this
thought-provoking book will shed light on how to optimize the
reintegration of sex offenders. It assesses the effectiveness and
wide-ranging implications of sex offender legislation on public
safety, policy, and practice and considers alternative approaches
to reduce sexual violence.
