Violence, Sex Offenders, and Corrections: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Violence, Sex Offenders, and Corrections" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Sex offenders remain the most hated group of offenders, subject to a myriad of regulations and punishments beyond imprisonment, including sex offender registries, chemical and surgical castration, and global positioning electronic monitoring systems. While aspects of their experiences of imprisonment are documented, less is known about how sex offenders experience prison and community corrections spaces and the implications of their status on their treatment and safety in such environments.

Violence, Sex Offenders, and Corrections critically assesses what is meant by the term sex offender, and acknowledges that such meanings are socially constructed, situated, and contingent. The book explores the person, crime, penal space, sexual orientation, legislation, and the community experiences of labelled sex offenders as well as the experiences of correctional officers working with said custodial populations. Ricciardelli and Spencer use conceptions of gender and embodiment to analyze how sex offenders are constituted as objects of fear and disgust and as deserving subjects of abjection and violence.

Sex offenders are everywhere in public discourse about crime and deviance yet - photo 1

Sex offenders are everywhere in public discourse about crime and deviance, yet virtually absent from the scholarly literature about prisons and punishment. In this hugely ambitious and penetrating book, Ricciardelli and Spencer draw on a broad conceptual repertoire to help theorise the regulation, treatment and experiences of sex offenders, in correctional settings and beyond. This is a very impressive piece of work, a significant contribution to our knowledge, and a text that is likely to generate a great deal of further research and reflection.

Dr Ben Crewe, Deputy Director of the Prisons Research Centre, University of Cambridge, UK

This is a compelling work that shows how sexual lawbreakers have been and continue to be misunderstood. Ricciardelli and Spencer convincingly assert that the explanations for the ways in which sex offenders are perceived or regarded may be found in sexual expectations and must be considered in light of emotions, gender, power, and stigmatization. They provide an important and much-needed discussion of the prison experiences of sexual lawbreakers, including how incarcerated sex offenders work to manage their spoiled identities for purposes of safety and survival.

This book is the result of many conversations between us regarding sex offenses and sex offenders. This project started out as collaboration over a journal article in 2011 and developed into this book. We are grateful to the many colleagues that offered commentaries on various chapters in this text. We are also thankful to our colleagues in the Department of Sociology at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University. Particular thanks are due to Kevin Walby and Justin Piche, who commented on multiple chapter drafts. The interviews with former prisoners and corrections officers analyzed in this this book was supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Standard Research Grant and Insight Development grant.

We also thank our spouses, Stephen Czarnuch and Laurie Spencer, respectively, for allowing us the time to write this book.

Introduction

On April 16, 2006, 20-year-old Canadian Stephen Marshall murdered two men before ending his own life. Joseph Gray, age 57, and William Elliott, age 24, both named on the Maine sex offender registry, were victims of Marshalls vigilante justice. William Elliott was 19 years old when he had sex with his girlfriend, three weeks prior to her 16th birthday, which was under the age of consent in Maine. Her father, unhappy about the situation, pursued the case that earned Elliott a four-month prison term and a spot on the registry (Zoorob, 2012). Elliott, many would agree, is not the typical sex offender. Gray, conversely, has a different history. He was convicted in 1992 of raping a 14-year-old female, as well as indecent assault and battery. In essence, Gray represents the most vilified of sex offenders, while Elliotts situation calls the utility of a registry into question. Yet, both men met the same fate. The diverse nature of their cases, however, further complicates any possible clarity about Marshalls motive when he shot both men in their homes and then proceeded to shoot himself.
