Date: 1997Kansas v. Hendricks
Definition
- At one time a person convicted of a crime who had paid his debt to society by serving his sentence was considered to be “a free man.” But in the late twentieth century, a backlash against the U.S. Supreme Court's expansion of rights for those accused of crimes spawned various movements to promote victims' rights. Victims of violent sex offenses, especially those committed against children, sought ways to protect themselves and others from further sexual assault.
