The sex offender is the most reviled and hated criminal in America. The media, policymakers, and advocacy groups thrive on society's fear, creating a moral panic that boosts TV ratings, keeps dollars flowing, and people in positions of power. But public panic over the sex offender is greatly overblown. What if, instead of protecting the public, our laws are really intended to force sex offenders into committing new crimes? What if we have created a new caste of citizens we want to see punished and never redeemed? For hundreds of thousands of Americans, these are not hypothetical questions. Meet our country's Third Class Citizens, those who strive for acceptance and ask for forgiveness. In Third Class Citizen : Living Under the Adam Walsh Act , prison expert JD MacBean explores the myths surrounding sex offenders in America in this comprehensive look at our society's most hated men and women before, during, and after prison.
