Reviews

This is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the Sex Offender Register in the UK. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the 'register' by examining the socio-historical context within which it emerged and developed. The impact of the register, how it is implemented and monitored are also examined in-depth, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the operationalisation of the register nationally. This unique book is ideal for students, practitioners, policy makers and academics in search of a one-stop source on sex offender management in the UK. -Prof. Sarah Kingston, Professor of Criminal Justice and Policing, Co-Director of the Criminal Justice Partnership, University of Central Lancashire This book is the most comprehensive of its kind. Whether you're an academic or practitioner, if you want to know anything about the Sex Offender Register and if it succeeds in its aim to protect the public then this is the book for you. - Caro Gorden, Senior lecturer, Criminology and Criminal Justice Programme Leader for MA Criminology and Criminal Justice, Wrexham Glyndwr University
