Details

Despite being in existence for over a quarter century, costing multiple millions of dollars and affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals, sex offender registration and notification (SORN) laws have yet to be subject to a book-length treatment of their empirical dimensions - their premises, coverage, and impact on public safety. This volume, edited by Wayne Logan and J.J. Prescott, assembles the leading researchers in the field to provide an in-depth look at what have come to be known as 'Megan's Laws', offering a social science-based analysis of one of the most important, and controversial, criminal justice system initiatives undertaken in modern times.

Presents key historical background that contextualizes current SORN laws and research
Provides a framework for understanding essential empirical research to help readers think carefully about the complexities of criminal justice policy and its potential reform
Discusses the future of SORN laws, including how they relate to other emerging community-based social control strategies.
