For more on sex offender laws and their unintended consequences, see the lead article in the Economist* this week. A nice analysis for the uninitiated and it makes a clear argument about how the breadth of these laws make us less safe — even better, they mention the work of our very own Chris Uggen.
*I reluctantly bought the Economist only because Contexts is unavailable at the airport.

No worries, Michelle, I think we were posting within two minutes of each other. Yours is better but after seeing the Contexts people at ASA, I was feeling guilty for not posting much!
