Acknowledgments

I would strongly suggest that all of you wait until your theses are completed before you write abstracts and acknowlegements. jeanne

There are many people that I would like to thank for helping me with my thesis. Most importantly, I would like to express my profound appreciation to the California State University Dominguez Hills and the Sociology Chair and Faculty for allowing me the opportunity to be accepted to the Sociology Graduate Program. I would like to thank the United States Selective Service for drafting me in the Armed Forces, specifically the United States Army for selecting me to be a military policeman. Without me being drafted into the Army at a young age and living in South Central Los Angles, I more than likely would not have been successful as a state law enforcement officer and a criminal justice instructor. My over twenty-three years of combined active, reserve, and National Guard service gave me the foundation to succeed. I would also like to thank the California Department of Corrections Parole and Community Service Division administrators and supervisors for selecting me to be the Southeast District High Control and High Risk Sex Offender Parole Agent for these past several years. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the staff from the Parole Outpatient Clinic for countless hours of discussing sex offenders. I would also like to thank several of my graduate peers for the many hours of peer study and research, which I will never forget. Finally, during the course of my research, I have learned much from my agency and other Law Enforcement agencies across the United States. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Jackson, Ph.D., who specializes in the treatment of sex offenders. I would also like thank Theresa Wojciechowski, Psychiatric Social Worker who provides treatment to sex offenders at the Parole Outpatient Clinic.
