The topic of sexual offending is a deeply complex and challenging
one. In the past number of years, there has been a growing interest
in sexual crime with a proliferation of cases provoking controversy
around sentencing and continuing questions about the adequacy of
the current law. Sexual Offending in Ireland: Laws, Procedures and
Punishment offers an accessible and comprehensive account of the
relevant law in relation to sexual offending in Ireland. It
incorporates an examination of developments in domestic legislation
and case law, detailing the substantive and evidentiary rules, as
well as sentencing practice and supervision of sexual offenders.
Part 1 of the book provides a comprehensive account of the
substantive law on sexual offences, covering the primary sexual
offences against adult victims, as well as those relating to
victims who are under the age of consent or who have limited
decision-making capacity. Part 2 looks at procedural issues
surrounding trial and evidence. It incorporates a critical analysis
of recent developments in evidence-related issues that have arisen
in recent years. This part covers the special rules of evidence
which apply in sexual offence trials, as well as describing the
special procedures which may apply in sexual offence trials to
protect victims from secondary victimisation. Part 3 provides a
comprehensive examination of how those convicted of sexual
offending are sentenced in the Irish courts, and explains the
post-release orders and requirements a convicted sex offender may
be subject to in the aftermath of imprisonment. The book also
discusses the recent reforms introduced under the Criminal Law
(Sexual Offences) Act 2017 and the Criminal Justice (Victims of
Crime) Bill 2016, examining the implications these reforms will
have upon the trial and punishment of sexual offenses. This is a
timely addition to commentary on the law in this unique area.
