- Summary
- This report compares the sexual psychopath laws to the criminal laws. There appears to be no consistency from state to state. If the various statutes are repealed, whatever resources that had previously been used for treating sexual psychopaths should be made available generally to needy individuals in prisons and mental hospitals. Recommendations are that the statutes must be rewritten: the key to confinement must be dangerousness, not perversion; treatment must be made available; prior conviction must be a prerequisite; some limitation should be placed on the time forced to serve; release procedures should be improved.
