He lays out the general concept thusly: The model process seeks to contain offenders in a triangle of supervision: treatment to teach sex offenders to develop internal control over deviant thoughts; supervision and surveillance to control offenders' external behaviors; and polygraph examinations to help design, and to monitor conformance to, treatment plans and supervision conditions (Travis, 1997). He goes on to say: “The model process for managing and containing sex offenders on probation or parole values public safety, victim protection, and reparation for victims as paramount (Travis, 1997).” In other words, the goal is to keep as close scrutiny on sexual predators/offenders as
Act gives a comprehensive list of sex offences to protect individuals from abuse and exploitation, and is designed to be fair and non-discriminatory. 2. Mental Capacity Act. 2005 The Mental Capacity Act is designed to protect people who can't make decisions for themselves or lack the mental capacity to do so. This could be due to a mental health condition, a severe learning disability, a brain injury, a stroke or unconsciousness due to an anaesthetic or sudden accident.
From researching my previous topic, I came upon two research journal articles by Henny H. Kim presenting opposing viewpoints about community notification laws. One is titled, “Community Notification Laws Help Prevent Child Abuse,” and argues that these laws have helped communities and neighborhoods by providing them with the names of released sexual predators, thus helping prevent repeat offenders from attacking other children. The other article, “Community Notification Laws Do Not Prevent Child Abuse,” states that these laws violate the rights of sexual offenders by punishing them after their time is served. Although these articles are small, only three to four pages, both present opposing viewpoints of community notification laws. This will become my main focal point of my

It also appears, however, to be a very fine line between preventing an illegal kick-back and disrupting a legitimate fee for a necessary service by an authorized professional. While it is important to discourage the former, some feel that expanding on the already broad statute for the purpose of sealing a few loopholes might accomplish more of the latter. “Because the law is broad on its face, concerns have already arose among health care providers that some relatively innocuous, and in some cases even beneficial, commercial arrangements are currently prohibited by the anti-kickback law” (Office of Inspector General, 1999). It is for these reasons that after careful consideration of all of the various resource materials used to complete this study, I must conclude that although the potential to exploit the healthcare system in the aforementioned manner still exists, the risk/reward balance has been tipped in the favor of integrity since the advent of anti-kickback
Pharmacological Medication is used to reduce sexual arousal. Often, these strategies of treatment are used after a sex offender is incarcerated. Unfortunately, the prison environment often interferes with productive treatment. The path to recovery may be difficult but sex offenders can receive effective treatment and refrain from committing sexual offenses in the
technical name of the offence, description of the offence and less then half of the web sites list the level of risk of the offender. Increasingly states are including description of the offenders car, license plate, online maps to the offenders residence, name and offenders of the offenders employer, and even click to print fliers for easy distribution. The definition for sex offender means many different things. One type of sex 3 offender could be a rapist while another might be an 18 year old boy having sex with a 15 year old girl. As I had learned just recently that there was a 10 year old caught touching girls 5 years old in ways that he should not have been.
OBJECTIVE This study will examine the Massachusetts rearrest rates of nonviolent drug offenders treated in Drug Treatment Courts (DTC) in contrast to offenders sent to incarceration. DTCs provide an effective way to break the cycle of drug use and its resulting criminal behavior. DTCs use judicial monitoring, supervision, drug testing and education to rehabilitate the offenders. These programs often defer or suspend sentences in exchange for successful completion of the treatment program. If the offender does not complete the treatment, the initial sentence of incarceration is enforced (Gottfredson, 2003).

Abuse & Mandated Reporting The case of Jerry Sandusky brought to the public eye the issue of child abuse and various authority figures’ responsibilities of reporting such suspected abuse. Back in 2011, Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, 68, was accused and convicted on 45 out of 48 counts related to sexually abusing young boys over the course of two decades; he was sentenced to life in prison (Wertheim 2012). Not only were Sandusky’s actions illegal (among other less appropriate adjectives that I might add) but also illegal were the actions, or lack thereof, of Gary Shultz, the Penn State senior vice president for finance and business, and Tim Curley, the Penn State athletic director. They knew details and has witnessed some of the allegations against Sandusky yet failed to report to the proper authorities; thus they were charged with perjury, as required by state law (Viera, 2012). Most people do not realize that failure to report child abuse is just as bad, and sometimes even worse than child abuse itself.
