  • Post-Release Controls for Sex Offenders in the US and UK
    1 Post-Release Controls for Sex Offenders in the U.S. and UK Roxanne Lieb * Associate Director Washington State Institute for Public Policy Olympia, Washington, United States Hazel Kemshall Professor DeMontford University Leicester, United Kingdom Terry Thomas Professor of Criminal Justice Studies School of Social Sciences Leeds Metropolitan University Leeds, United Kingdom *contact author 110 Fifth Ave. SE PO Box 40999 Olympia, WA 98504-0999 [email protected] phone (360) 586-2768 fax (360) 586-2793 2 Key Words: Megan’s Law; sex offender policy; registration and notification laws Abstract In recent years, both the United States and United Kingdom have developed numerous innovations in legal efforts to protect society from sex offenders. Each country has adopted special provisions for sex offenders. In particular, governments have focused on forms of social control after release from incarceration and probation. These policy innovations for this category of offenders have been more far reaching than those for any other offender population. The two jurisdictions have adopted policies with similar goals, but the selected strategies have important differences. Generally speaking, the U.S. has favored an ever-expanding set of policies that place sex offenders into broad categories, with few opportunities that distinguish the appropriate responses for individual offenders. The UK government observed the proliferation of Megan’s Laws1 in the U.S., and deliberately chose to establish carefully controlled releases of information, primarily relying on governmental agencies to work in multi-disciplinary groups and make case-specific decisions about individual offenders. Although the UK policy leaders expressed significant concern that the public’s response to knowing about identified sex offenders living in the community would result in vigilantism, to date the results have not born out this fear.

  • The Sexual Offences Bill [HL] 1
    RESEARCH PAPER 03/62 The Sexual Offences Bill 10 JULY 2003 [HL] Bill 128 2002-03 The Sexual Offences Bill 2002-03 is the culmination of two major reviews, on sexual offences and the management of sex offenders. The policy background to the Bill is discussed in Library Research Paper 03/61. That paper provides background to these reviews, outlining current legislation and areas where the Government have identified a need for change. It also gives an outline of the Bill as presented in the House of Lords, and discusses the available statistical information on sexual offences and sex offenders. This paper looks at the Bill as introduced in the House of Commons on 18 June 2003. It covers some of the more controversial issues such as consent in rape cases, child protection and protection of vulnerable people. Topics which were the subject of major Government amendments, including exposure and sexual activity in public toilets are also discussed. The Bill is due to be debated on second reading in the House of Commons on 15 July 2003.
