EspañolSEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR
(Redirected from Sexually violent predators)
Some U.S. states have laws which give a special status for criminals designated as 'sexually violent predators', which allows these offenders to be held in state run in-custody mental institutions after their sentence is complete if they are considered to be a risk to the public. The first sexually violent predator law in the U.S. was the Community Protection Act of 1990 passed in the state of Washington in 1990. As of 2005, 16 other U.S. states have passed similar laws.
