Policy development for the control of sex-offending behavior.
Sexual violence is among the foremost problems that our society faces today. Addressing this problem will require more direct public education, effective and accessible resources for victims, punishment for offenders, and treatment of offenders to prevent recidivism. Although the 74th Texas legislative session began a concentrated approach to addressing this problem, further legislation is needed to provide a cost-effective method to increase public safety from sexual violence over the long term.
