Book excerpt: This title focuses on evaluations for civil commitment of sexually violent predators (SVPs). These are the offenders who are determined by the court (through procedures described in this title) to present sufficient risk to the community to justify being detained beyond the expiration of the maximum criminal sentences. Although this title focuses on evaluating SCP cases, the considerations discussed, such as determining a sex offender's risk to reoffend, also apply to evaluations of sex offenders in other contexts (e.g. community notification, sentence enhancement, and probationary management).
