Entry 1 Citation Bonnar-Kidd, Kelly K. “Sexual Offender Laws and Prevention of Sexual Violence or Recidivism.” American Journal of Public Health 100.3 (2010): 412–419. Web. Summary The researcher presents sexual violence as a concern to public health in the United States. Sexual violence is viewed in relation to legislations and laws passed aimed at reducing recidivism among sex offenders or criminals. The author argues that sex offenders in the United States are subject to laws, policies, registration, community notification, as well as monitoring through technologies. Further, the article identifies other policies that apply to sexual offenders such as internet restrictions, residency, loitering, and civil commitment. These policies are viewed as challenges to the integration of sexual offenders into society. Multiple policies restricting the actions of sexual offenders have led to an environment where sexual offenders cannot be reintegrated successfully thereby leading to increased levels or risk for recidivism. Key quotations “In fact, evidence on the effectiveness of these laws suggests that they may not prevent recidivism or sexual violence and result in more harm than good.” (Bonnar-Kidd 412). “Since 1996, some states have created ‘safety zones’ or places where a registered sex offender cannot be; others are mandating lifetime global positing system (GPS).” (Bonnar-Kidd 415). Evaluation The article presents the effectiveness of laws and policies on sexual-related offenses in the reintegration process. The article is necessary so that laws developed by policymakers are changed based on their role in increasing the level of sexual offenses in the United States. Laws mandating lifetime global positing system (GPS) are not suitable for the reintegration of sex offenders in society. The article, therefore, presents an analysis of the effects of laws and policies on the reintegration process of criminals into society.

Web. Summary This article is about mass incarceration of African-American men and women to prison. The author argues that mass incarceration of African-American citizens has led to challenges in reintegration into communities. In particular, incarceration in the United States has been radicalized based in philosophies of order regimes. African-American citizens are overrepresented in each criminal category. Further, police departments and strategies used involve the use of force towards African-American communities thereby leading to discriminatory treatment by police officers. Reintegration into the community is affected by discriminatory treatment of African-American criminals into the society. Other challenges of reintegration of criminals into the society in the United States relate to limited funding on services that enhance the reintegration process. The authors argue that legal reforms have led to challenges of non-involvement in education, employment, and housing. Race and gender are major challenges of reintegrating criminals into the society. Key quotations “The legal community has overlooked the impact of the intersectionality of race and
