Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the issues of sex offenders often being reviled by society and marked for life. The paper questions whether there is treatment for the sex offender or whether he or she is likely to commit a re-offense, also known as recidivism. The paper defines a sex offender, discusses the typical punishments and examines the statistics that typicaly surround sex offenders with regards to recidivism.From the Paper:
"In conclusion, I believe there is help for the sex offender not only through his or her own treatment, but through the continued support of advocates like Dr. Karl Hanson. It is only with ongoing treatment and success stories that the tidal wave of resentment against the sex offender will subside. It is only with lawyers and doctors testifying about the true progress of their client's treatment, that sex offenders will be able to reclaim their homes. It is only through positive success stories on TV, that the neighborhood will accept the sex offender. And it's only through time and perseverance that this will happen."Sample of Sources Used:
