A Comparative Study

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sex offender registers are not really registers at all but a set of a legal requirementsa (TM) that fall automatically on a person convicted or cautioned for a designated sexual offence; the term a registera (TM) is a form of shorthand for these requirements, designed to be a contribution to greater public protection and community safety. This book seeks to provide the first serious and detailed narrative of the conception and implementation of the sex offender registers. It seeks to do so in a clear and easy to follow text that will be both informed and critical. It will also serve as a resource book for those wanting to make further study of the process of registration and monitoring.
