  • Title: Sex offender registration and community notification: emerging legal and research issues.
    Author: Logan WA.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2003 Jun; 989():337-51; discussion 352-9. PubMed ID: 12839909.
    Abstract:
    Sex offender registration and community notification laws, now in effect nationwide, have inspired considerable controversy. This article examines the variety of legal challenges brought against the laws since the mid-1990s and surveys issues likely to receive judicial attention in the immediate future. The article also provides an overview of the limited empirical work done to date on registration and notification, and the major areas that warrant additional research, including, most notably, inquiry into efficacy, costs, and consequences.
