Getting Started
Policy making in cases of sex offenders has taken a circuitous route from being localized to being addressed at the State and finally at the Federal levels. In the same year that the
Violence Against Women Act was authored (1994) Congress introduced legislation that addressed sex offenses. These began with the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act that required states to register and track the location of sex offenders for ten years after their release. There have subsequently been a number of laws passed by Congress to encourage states to track offenders robustly or risk losing state funding. How this is done is left to the discretion of the states. On a federal level, The Pam Lyncher Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act of 1996 required the FBI to establish a database of offenders. Residency restrictions for sex offenders are not universal but they are very restrictive. Because finding a place to live can be so difficult if an offender registers, there is widespread non-compliance. Your text will cover this in Chapter Four as well as self-protective behavior of community members.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
Defend one rationale invoked to justify sex-offender policy.
Resources
Textbook: Criminal Justice Policy: Origins and Effectiveness
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Read Chapter 4 of Criminal Justice Policy: Origins and Effectiveness
Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the prompts:
Select one of the following rationales as the most credible justification for a sex-offender policy.
Assumption that sex offenders are “sick”
Assumption that sex offenders will reoffend
Assumption that the sex offender label is accurate
Shaming and deterrence (SORN)
Geographic proximity (Residency Restrictions)
Treatment and incapacitation (Civil commitment)
Defend your selection by stating the merits of the rationale. Why is your rationale a better choice compared to the other rationales?
RESPONSE TO THE PROMPT:
Cite all sources and use proper APA formatting for all in-text citations and references.
Your response to the discussion prompt is due by the end of the fourth day of the workshop.
FOLLOW-UP POSTINGS:
Read all of the discussion postings and respond to at least two (2) of your classmates’ postings, as well as follow-up instructor questions directed to you, by the end of the workshop.
While students may agree with each other, each follow-up posting is expected to go beyond just agreeing. Each follow-up posting should add something original, substantive, and course-related to the discussion.
Your follow-up postings should engage classmates and move the discussion forward in intentionally scholarly ways. Some ways to do this include:
introducing related information from an appropriate source that is professional, reliable and valid
including a direct quote from the text along with your observations about the importance of the quote within the context of the discussion
including a paraphrase of the text/assigned reading (with an in-text citation that includes a page number)
challenging commonly-held thinking by introducing published research findings
examining a workshop concept from a scholarly perspective that is not addressed in the text
providing applicable illustrations from current events
pointing out connections/common ideas/themes discussed so far
OVERALL INVOLVEMENT:
The expectation is that students post their response to the prompt and follow-up postings on at least three (3) different days during the workshop to demonstrate full engagement.
Students are expected to cite all sources and use proper APA Style formatting for all in-text citations and references.
Students are expected to employ proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
