Early work on offender profiling by the FBI indicated a broad distinction between organised offenders and disorganised offenders. This distinction was based on interviews and case details of 36 serial sex offenders who volunteered to be interviewed about their crimes. Since its first appearance, the organised/disorganised distinction has been widely cited in academic literature and used as a model by professional investigators. According to the Crime Classification Manual (Douglas et al., 1992), the organised/disorganised typology can be applied to all sexually motivated murder and some cases of arson. In 1992, Douglas suggested that a third category of ‘mixed’ offender be added to the twofold category system, to accommodate those offenders who cannot easily be categorised as either organised or disorganised.
The Ineffectiveness of Sex Offender Registration Laws Using Labeling and Social Disorganisation Theories. Name: Jasmine Jovcic Course: Bachelor of Criminology Unit: CRM 206: Criminology Unit Coordinator: Guy Hall Submitted: 3rd of October, 2012 Word Count: 1 900 The Ineffectiveness of Sex Offender Registration Laws Using Labeling and Social Disorganisation Theories.

With legislative changes around the world including that of Megan’s law in the United States of America (USA) and Sarah’s Law in England, it is no surprise that states around Australia, including Western Australia (WA) are following in the lead.

For my second scholarly article I chose: “Juvenile Arrest and Collateral Educational Damage in the Transition to Adulthood” written by David S. Kirk and Robert J Sampson. David S. Kirk (Ph.D., Sociology, University of Chicago) is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and a Faculty Research Associate of the Population Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin. Kirk's research agenda focuses on three inter-related themes. Number one being the legitimacy of the law and the effects of illegitimacy on crime and the willingness of residents to cooperate with the police. Number two is the effect of neighborhood culture and conditions on criminal and delinquent behavior.

“630,000 assaults of students between ages of 18 and 24, 400,000 students had unprotected sex due to drinking and there were 70,000 victims of sexual assault. By the alarming highly statistics mentioned above, we can see how the level in which college-age students are consuming alcohol and there is an epidemic occurring.

There are many different and more accurate forms of sexual assault. According to Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), sexual assault is “unwanted sexual contact that stops short of rape or attempted rape.
