The Restoring Law and Order on America’s Streets Act amends the definition of "sexually dangerous person" to include "person who is a danger to public safety." This means that individuals who have engaged in or attempted to engage in crimes of violence, burglary, robbery, larceny, or other specified offenses can be considered for civil commitment. The Attorney General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons must evaluate homeless individuals or those deemed a danger to public safety to determine if they should be certified as such.
