Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Laws
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-108-42002-0 (ISBN)
Despite being in existence for over a quarter century, costing multiple millions of dollars and affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals, sex offender registration and notification (SORN) laws have yet to be subject to a book-length treatment of their empirical dimensions - their premises, coverage, and impact on public safety. This volume, edited by Wayne Logan and J.J. Prescott, assembles the leading researchers in the field to provide an in-depth look at what have come to be known as 'Megan's Laws', offering a social science-based analysis of one of the most important, and controversial, criminal justice system initiatives undertaken in modern times.

Logan is an elected member of the American Law Institute and a past chair of the Criminal Justice Section of the Association of American Law Schools. J.J. Prescott is Henry King Ransom Professor of Law, University of Michigan.
