The court ruled states may detain violent sexual offenders beyond prison terms only if a lack of self control is shown. Justice Breyer said proof of serious difficulty controlling behavior suffices, while Scalia criticized the decision for lacking guidance. The decision affects Kansas and 18 other states with similar laws, with Crane v. Kansas v. Crane, 00-957, sent back for reconsideration.
