Sex Offenses and the Men Who Commit Them: An Assessment of Sex Offenders on Probation (Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime, and Law)
“This book presents an unprecedented empirical examination of sex offenders and our society's legal responses to their crimes. It combines an empirical analysis of the factors related to recidivism for a group of sex offenders on probation along with interview narratives from the offenders themselves. In an era where emotionally charged “tough on crime” legislation is the norm, the research presented here by Dr. Meloy should be required reading for policy makers and practitioners alike, as well as all other interested in protecting the lives of women and children.” (Ronet Bachman, Professor, Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, University of Delaware)
