Sex offenders remain the most hated group of offenders, subject to
a myriad of regulations and punishments beyond imprisonment,
including sex offender registries, chemical and surgical
castration, and global positioning electronic monitoring systems.
While aspects of their experiences of imprisonment are documented,
less is known about how sex offenders experience prison and
community corrections spaces - and the implications of their status
on their treatment and safety in such environments. Violence, Sex
Offenders, and Corrections critically assesses what is meant by the
term 'sex offender', and acknowledges that such meanings are
socially constructed, situated, and contingent. The book explores
the person, crime, penal space, sexual orientation, legislation,
and the community experiences of labelled sex offenders as well as
the experiences of correctional officers working with said
custodial populations. Ricciardelli and Spencer use conceptions of
gender and embodiment to analyze how sex offenders are constituted
as objects of fear and disgust and as deserving subjects of
abjection and violence.
