Chapter 980 Sexual Predator Law in Wisconsin: Does it work, Does it actually catch the group it

targets or is the law an unfounded answer to public outcry

The paper needs to be in a Legal Memo / Legal Brief type format, citations to research need to

follow Blue Book citation procedure (i.e. law review article), Introduction paragraph with clear

topic sentence and road map on what paper will discuss, Main Section (i.e. argument) to include

very strong analytical look at the current research, specifically statistical research on

Wisconsin’s Chapter 980 law, the group its serving, the statutory standards, the assessment tools,

how the program has changed and evolved, and comparing Wisconsin’s program to the Sexual Violent

Persons laws in Washington, Texas, Florida and Minnesota, Include counter-arguments, Include where

changes should be made or where the laws are heading, last paragraph should include a Brief

Conclusion. What’s the next step, What should happen from where things are currently. My opinion is

Wisconsin’s sexual predator laws fall in the median of harsh punishment type program to the purely

community based program in Texas. The variation in the statutory standard (burden of proof) is

significant in why there is a difference in the application of the programs between the different

states in the US. Further, the actual risk of recidivism is so minute to begin with that once you

put a person through sexual predator commitment are you really significantly reducing that person’s

risk – statistically speaking. I need a DRAFT of this paper to turn in by 3:00 pm Monday. I will

then have several weeks to do edits once the professor reviews the draft. I have attached the

source material I’ve found so far, but as many more that are needed to provide a solid paper can be

used, there isn’t a magic number of needed resources.
