Legislatively-Mandated Treatment of Sex Offenders: Unsettled Issues.
Pallone, Nathaniel J.
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v20 n1-2 p159-205 1993
Addresses problematic character of legislation that prescribes differential sanctioning for persons who commit sex crimes incidentally to other felonies and those who are presumably driven by psychosexual pathology. Contends that legislation calls for mental health professions, during evaluation which eventuates in recommendations to court concerning disposition, to make distinctions for which there is little sound scientific support.
