Conclusion: Beyond Disclosurism --Notes --IndexPerhaps no kind of regulation is more common or less useful than mandated disclosure-requiring one party to a transaction to give the other information. It is the iTunes terms you assent to, the doctor's consent form you sign, the pile of papers you get with your mortgage. Reading the terms, the form, and the papers is supposed to equip you to choose your purchase, your treatment, and your loan well. More Than You Wanted to Know surveys the evidence and finds that mandated disclosure rarely works. But how could it? Who reads these disclosures? Who understands them? Who uses them to make better choices? Omri Ben-Shahar and Carl Schneider put the regulatory problem in human terms. Most people find disclosures complex, obscure, and dull. Most people make choices by stripping information away, not layering it on. Most people find they can safely ignore most disclosures and that they lack the literacy to analyze them anyway. And so many disclosures are mandated that nobody could heed them all. Nor can all this be changed by simpler forms in plainer English, since complex things cannot be made simple by better writing. Furthermore, disclosure is a lawmakers' panacea, so they keep issuing new mandates and expanding old ones, often instead of taking on the hard work of writing regulations with bite. Timely and provocative, More Than You Wanted to Know takes on the form of regulation we encounter daily and asks why we must encounter it at all.Disclosure of informationLaw and legislationUnited StatesConsumer protectionLaw and legislationUnited StatesDecision makingUnited StatesElectronic books.Disclosure of informationLaw and legislationConsumer protectionLaw and legislationDecision making346.7302/1Ben-Shahar Omri1042826Schneider Carl E.1948-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463953903321More than you wanted to know2467345UNINA02759oam 2200625I 450 991078011810332120230421041519.01-134-90590-41-134-90591-21-280-32607-70-585-45997-510.4324/9780203168158 (CKB)111087026810834(EBL)165494(OCoLC)57073717(SSID)ssj0000287908(PQKBManifestationID)11207949(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000287908(PQKBWorkID)10372954(PQKB)11076762(MiAaPQ)EBC165494(Au-PeEL)EBL165494(CaPaEBR)ebr10058314(CaONFJC)MIL32607(OCoLC)958102942(EXLCZ)9911108702681083420180331d1994 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrActs of abuse sex offenders and the criminal justice system /Adam SampsonLondon ;New York :Routledge,1994.1 online resource (156 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-415-07373-1 0-415-07372-3 0-203-16815-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Book Cover; Title; Contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Background to the phenomenon: definitions and explanations; From crime to conviction; Sentencing: just deserts and public protection; Sex offenders and probation: a challenge ducked?; A prison within a prison; Treatment in prison: order out of chaos; Conclusion: doubts and difficulties; Notes; IndexSexual crime is a topic of massive public concern. Yet the debate over its causes and the appropriate responses of the criminal justice system is often fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, with little understanding of the reality of sexual crime.Acts of Abuse explores the response of the criminal justice system to this important issue. Its author, Adam Sampson, examines the existing research about the causes of rape and child abuse, the number of offences being committed, and the policy of the courts.
