Legal Responses to Sexual Violence in Custody: Sex Inmate Registration Statutes

Sex Inmate Registration Statutes: Impact on Addressing Sexual Abuse in Custodial Settings will address sex offender registration and its utility as a tool for addressing sexual violence in correctional institutions.

This publication is the second of a series, Legal Responses to Sexual Violence in Custody, that forms the basis of a toolkit on laws that address sexual violence against persons under correctional supervision. It provides a general overview and history of a particular set of laws; discusses relevant provisions and how they differ from state to state; and explains its benefits and challenges as a tool to address sexual abuse of individuals in custody.
