520    Using a multi-disciplinary approach, this book documents 
       and explains how, when and why adults and children with 
       mental disabilities-including those with sexual disorders-
       who are perceived to be a future danger to others, the 
       community, or themselves have become the most stigmatized,
       abused, and mistreated group in America, and what should 
       be done to correct the resulting injustices. The author 
       identifies and analyzes the key factors that should be 
       understood when lawyers, judges, mental health 
       professionals, policymakers, legislators, advocates, 
       forensic experts, professors and their students consider 
       the legal, treatment and policy decisions that affect this
       highly stigmatized group of people.
