To counter the knee-jerk public and campaign-inflating frenzy about sex offenders on the loose, professionals from criminology, social science, law, offender treatment, prisons, police, and other fields consider theoretical issues, the legal context, risk assessment and management, new treatment strategies, multi-agency work, and law enforcement. The 12 papers are revised from presentations at a November 2002 conference in Cambridge, England. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
