The sentencing of sex offenders in the United States has long been a controversial issue. As more is learned about the psychology of such offences, many people have begun to call for stricter, and sometimes unconventional, methods of punishing, rehabilitating, and tracking sex offenders. From a legal standpoint, it is important to determine how best to protect potential victims of such crimes without infringing on the constitutional rights of the criminals. ""Sentencing Sex Offenders"" takes a balanced approach, exploring this controversial topic from various points of view.
