Public Awareness and Action Resulting From Sex Offender Community Notification Laws (2008, background): “…with no research-based evidence of effectiveness, and with little thought to the long-term consequences for offenders (M.

The Complexity of Public Attitudes Toward Sex Crimes (2017, unknown): “In fact, it has been posited that media sensationalism has contributed to the myths that all sex offenders are recidivistic, untreatable predators and that sex crimes have reached epidemic proportions (Levenson, 2003; Malinen et al., 2014; Sample & Bray, 2003).”
Collateral consequences of sex offender residence restrictions (2008, background): “1998; Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2004; Harris & Hanson, 2004; Sample & Bray, 2003 ).”
AN ANALYSIS OF PAROLE DECISION MAKING USING A SAMPLE OF SEX OFFENDERS: A FOCAL CONCERNS (2006, background): “Megan’s Law and similar legislation has created an image of sex offenders as incorrigible (Sample and Bray, 2003), and this community concern appears to have permeated the parole decision process.”
Sex Offender Laws (2008, background): “…and researchers have long been highlighting and suggesting what they believe to be the assumptions of sex offenders and offending that prompted much of the legislation we have today (Levenson, Brannon, Fortney, & Baker, 2007; Sample, 2006; Sample & Bray, 2003, 2006; Shajnfeld & Krueger, 2006).”
Ex-Offenders Need Not Apply (2005, background): “This is true even of sex offenders (Weinrott & Saylor, 1991), where both public and politicians alike presume the greatest stability of specialization (Sample & Bray, 2003).”

Public Perceptions About Sex Offenders and Community Protection Policies (2007, background): “Although it is believed that sex offenders have the highest recidivism rates among criminals, they are among the least likely criminals to be rearrested for new crimes (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2003; Sample & Bray, 2003, 2006).”
