Abstract
Therapeutic Jurisprudence asserts that law—rules, procedures, and roles—can psychologically help or harm people. Therapeutic Jurisprudence also accepts that other values, such as social control or efficiency, may override the goal of enhancing psychological well being. This Article examines how sexual predator laws are being implemented in some states and concludes that these laws are doing such serious psychological harm to offenders, staff, and the community that Therapeutic Jurisprudence must take a normative stance and insist on change.
