Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The test also meets the ‘reasonably related” requirement in that it is aimed at providing Dotson with treatment, fostering deterrence, and protecting the public. See Berthiaume v. Caron, 142 ,F.3d 12, 17 (1st Cir.1998) (describing this usage of the plethysmograph as “an accepted tool” and “a standard practice” in the field of sex offender treatment); see also Walrath v. United States, 830 F.Supp. 444 (N.D.Ill.1993), aff'd, 35 F.3d 277 (7th Cir.1994) (holding that the use of the plethysmograph for treatment as a condition of parole is valid).”
