      abstract = {From sex fiend laws to Jessica's Law, every state  regularly passes popular tough-on-crime legislation, often  written after hihgly-publicized cases have made the  grueseome rounds through the media.  Chrysanthi Leon shows  that, while the singular notion of the sexual boogeyman has  been used to justify these harsh policies, not all sex  offenders are the same and such 'one size fits all'  policies are well-intentioned but badly implemented. Leon  argues for much-needed changes to the criminal justice  system, ultimately showing that when policies intended for  the worst offenders take over, all of us suffer.},
