{"product_id":"democracy-and-deliberation-cary-federman-9780472132515","title":"Democracy and Deliberation: The Law and Politics of Sex Offender Legislation","description":"Sex offender laws include residency restrictions, registration and notification requirements, and post-conviction civil commitment. These laws and regulations impose serious restrictions on the movements of convicted sex offenders. This is controversial because these laws and regulations occur after the sex offender has completed his time in prison. These laws and regulations are intended to have both a deterrent and therapeutic effect. Residency restrictions seek to prevent sex offenders from recommitting their crimes and civil commitment provides psychological services while incarcerated in a forensic facility. Most works on this subject are deeply critical of these laws. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cary Federman takes a more sympathetic approach to sex offender legislation. He focuses on the deliberative intentions of legislators, exploring the limits of judicial review and the rights of interested parties to influence lawmaking. Leaders of these interested parties are usually the parents of children who have been sexually violated and murdered. Critics of sex offender legislation tend to focus on the convicted parties, arguing that their rights have been violated. \u003ci\u003eDemocracy and Deliberation\u003c\/i\u003e asserts that these laws are expressions of the deliberative intentions of lawmakers concerned about public safety--they are thus constitutional, if not always wise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cary Federman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472132512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472132515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Cary Federman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043180114175,"sku":"9780472132515","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02328d50-7c5a-45f3-8f54-7c21e085b007.jpg?v=1684965695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-and-deliberation-cary-federman-9780472132515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
