Review: Evaluating Sex Offenders: A Manual for Civil Commitmemts and Beyond
is an excellent guide for mental health professionals who do this type of work. While the focus is on understanding the civil commitments laws which apply to some states with such laws, the book has broader utility. Dr. Doren does a fine job of explaining his model of offender risk assessment and providing professionals with the means of doing forensically defensable evaluations. This book will be read with interest by anyone working with sexual offenders.
