Lawrence A. Dubin is a law professor at the University of Detroit Mercy Law, specialising in legal ethics and litigation. Dr Emily Horowitz is Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY.
Unjust sex offense laws result in draconian punishment and public shaming, and even those with autism and other developmental disabilities are caught in the web of our continually expanding sex offense legal regime. Investigating the public hysteria over sex offenses, this book highlights the ways our legal system has been infused with politics and panic, and fails to protect those with developmental disabilities who pose little threat to society, or lack a core understanding as to why their actions break the law. Proposing an informed and compassionate way forward based on research and evidence-based sentencing, experts from the fields of law, ethics, psychology and sociology explore what steps should be taken in order to ensure that even those charged with crimes that elicit emotional responses, such as sex offenses, receive justice.
