Abstract

The handling and care of dangerous sexual predators has typically been a function of the criminal justice system. Recently, however, the state of Kansas became the focus of a Supreme Court challenge regarding the states' use of civil confinement following the completion of the criminal sanction as it's method for protecting society from dangerous sexual predators. The Court held that the procedure did not constitute double jeopardy, or any other Constitutional violation. Leroy Hendricks, the case principal, the state statute and policy implications are discussed.
