The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Legal and Ethical Aspects of Sex Offender Treatment and Management

Beschreibung

This vital new work on the legal and ethical dimensions of dealing with sex offenders is the first of its kind and fills a gap in the academic literature. It assembles a broad spectrum of research from numerous national jurisdictions including the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, and Israel, reflecting the rising international profile of the subject among academics and policy makers. As well as covering a range of legal and ethical concerns, such as human rights and sentencing policy, the volume features dedicated material on the legal and ethical issues involved in risk treatment and risk management. Chapters explore a range of current theoretical perspectives and feature content from leading voices on sex offender treatment and management, including contributions from William Marshalll, Tony Ward, Doug Boer, Daniel Wilcox, and Marnie Rice. They include analysis of the ethics relating to media coverage of sex offenders, sentencing policy, expert evidence, consent and equality duties. Authors cover pharmacological approaches to treatment, the registration of offenders, and targeted approaches to management in cases involving women and ethnic minority offenders, with further contributions examining core issues such as the efficacy, or otherwise, of managing and treating those convicted of sexual crimes. This new publication combines the latest theory with a wealth of international perspectives on a high-profile, and highly complex, subject.
