Advances in Sex Offender Policy Research: Policy Implementation and Impacts
Wed, Nov 19, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Marriott, Pacific C, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
This session will examine, nationally and internationally, the impact of policy on the community management of sexual abusers, addressing topics including sex offender reintegration, community engagement, and policy maker and practitioner perspectives. In doing so the session will examine the impact that the “politicalization” of sex offenders, austerity measures, shifts in criminal justice policy and an increased role for community engagement has had on the way that sex offenders are managed in the community. More broadly, the session will consider the relationship between research and policy, the gap between policy formation and the realities of implementation, and the parameters of effective policy and practice.
