Summary
"In the 1990s and 2000s, federal lawmakers and legislators in 20 states and the District of Columbia passed laws that allow for the detention of certain sex offenders designated as a "Sexually Violent Person" or, in some states, as a "Sexually Violent Predator" (SVP). These statutes allow for the confinement of individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses beyond the term of their criminal court-ordered incarceration (in juvenile detention, jail, or prison). This report explores the important implications SVP laws have for Black and sexual minority communities."
