JURY BIAS RESULTING IN INDEFINITE COMMITMENT: EXPANDING PROCEDURAL PROTECTIONS IN SVP CIVIL COMMITMENT PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE MATHEWS TEST.
- Authors
Mentch, Alli M.
- Abstract
The article argues that Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) laws do not adequately protect respondents' due process rights. It proposes a more rights-protective application of the Mathews test to expand procedural protections for respondents in SVP civil commitment proceedings. Additional procedures to better protect the rights of respondents are presented.
