This information-rich volume expands current knowledge about
sexually violent predators and critiques SVP laws with the goal of
fostering improvements in clinical practice and public policy. It
offers a finely detailed evidence base on this problematic class of
offenders, including the complex interactions of biophysiological
and environmental factors that contribute to criminal sexual
behavior. Chapters discuss a wide range of assessment issues and
instruments central to SVP evaluation, and the possibilities for
developing interventions that address individual motivations and
behaviors to reduce the risk of reoffending. And throughout,
careful attention is paid to ongoing legal, ethical, and logical
concerns regarding sexually violent offenders, their treatment and
confinement, and their post-confinement placement. Among the topics
covered: * Civil commitment of sex offenders. * The physiological
basis of problematic sexual interests and behaviors. * Sexually
violent predator evaluations: problems and proposals. * Cultural
considerations in the assessment of sexually violent predators. *
Management of sex offenders in community settings. * Effective use
of an expert in sexually violent predator commitment hearings.
Offering numerous issues for discussion and debate with
considerable implications for clinical practice, policy, and the
judicial system, Sexually Violent Predators will interest and
enlighten forensic psychologists and psychiatrists as well as
social workers, policy-makers, and legal professionals.
