Because I'm in the midst of a major article revision (due tomorrow) and am having a move from Hell (does anyone ever have a good experience with movers?), I don't have time to add much original content. Instead, I have an extra-long "Around the Web" covering many stories around the web (some are a little old because I've been meaning to blog about them for a while). Without further ado, here are some things worth checking out:
A couple interesting looking abstracts about sex offender research are posted at Corrections Sentencing.
CrimProf updates us on the fight against sex offenders in online communities like Myspace and Facebook.
Rape and murder by an army soldier in Iraq resulted in a 110-year prison sentence. Here is Feminist Law Professors coverage.
The Florida "scarlet" driver's license is covered at Crime & Consequences.
I'm behind on the Carnivals Against Sexual Violence at abyss2hope. Marcella Chester is looking for submissions to the next carnival here. Chester has been posting a lot of really interesting stuff lately, and although I link to one specific post below, I recommend checking out the whole blog for an array of interesting posts.
Eugene Volokh introduced a sexual assault problem to readers. I chimed in way down in the comments section. I was hoping to explore the hypothetical in a little more depth here, but just haven't had time.
Criminal Appeal blogs about a Ninth Circuit case where a sex offender is involved and the Ex Post Facto Clause doesn't apply (does it ever in a sex offender case?).
Crime & Federalism has had a few posts recently about the continuing Nifong saga.
The porn police story has been covered in a few places. CrimProf has coverage here. Talkleft posted here. How Appealing links to the story here.
Sexoffenderissues continues to blog up a storm, including posts about To Catch a Predator.
Feminist Law Professors directs us to two very different perspectives about rape by self-identified male feminists.
In case you had doubts (and the Lawrence slippery slope advocates seem to), incest with your daughter is not a fundamental right. Criminal Appeal covers a decision on the issue.
abyss2hope talks about a consensual sex registry.
Crime & Consequences updates us about the John Couey (who murdered Jessica Lunsford) case.
Dave Hoffman at Concurring Opinions wants to know what the big fuss is about the Duke 88. He looks back to what the faculty members said and doesn't find it too troubling at all. So far, the comments to his post don't agree (to put it politely).
A Stitch in Haste updates readers on the too-short-for-prison sex offender.
At Corrections Sentencing, Michael Connelly wishes a little bit of the British perspective on sex offender laws might make its way across the Atlantic.
The Florida Romeo exception to the registry is covered at Crime & Consequences.
CrimProf points to an interesting story about church attempts to craft guidelines for admitting sex offenders to congregations.
Corrections Sentencing points to a nice article about Wisconsin's civil commitment system.
FourthAmendment.com writes about whether a discrepancy between an affidavit and a police report in a child porn case justifies a Franks hearing.
Crime & Consequences uses a few recent incidents to support harsher sentences on sex offenders.
