It proceeds by critically assessing the efforts the police are making to overcome these difficulties and the degree to which they are making progress.The book outlines the relatively new police role of policing the convicted sex offenders themselves, who are living in the community and are subject to risk ''management'' by the police and the requirements of the sex offender register held by the police.
