Focus on Sex Offenders (laws – registration, notification, residency restrictions, consequences)
Moral Panic
Chapter Three: Sentencing Research
Theory (focal concerns and racial, economic, political, and sexual threat)
Sentencing Offenders (individual – differences between violent and sex offenders, extralegal, contextual)
Multilevel Models
Hypotheses (10)
Chapter Four: Data and Methods
Intro (data)
HLM
DVs (2)
IVs (5 + individual level and controls)
Contribution of Proposed Research
