Do you think the sex offender registry should be done away with?

I really do. Like the other guy said, something only for while they're on parole or probation might be reasonable. But definitely no lifetime registration and none of those stupid restrictions on where they can live. For god sakes, they should be encouraged to start a normal productive life it at all possible, not prevented from it.

I think it should be done away with, permanently.

In it's place the sex offender sentence should include parole or probation that continues until the convict is judged to be no longer a threat to innocent people. If that means 10 years parole, so be it. If that means 50 years parole, the offender had better not miss a check in.

As it stands now ... is the registry a part of the sentence? A separate penalty? How exactly is the sex offender registry classified.

Either it's safe for the offender to live around potential victims without supervision, or they are not. If they are safe, no need to make them part of the registry. If they are not safe, they should be under closer supervision than the registry allows for.

I understand what you're saying. It's really a hard thing to prove(rape) because it's one person's word against another. Once it's proved, it's rare someone spends life in jail for rape aside from a serial rapist. A child molester won't spend a long time in jail so that is why the registry is necessary. What needs to happen is better monitoring of the registry and those iffy situations needs to have an asterisk or something to that affect.

No.

While not ALL people convicted of crimes are guilty.... the VAST majority are.

The registry serves as public notice of how many sexual deviants are in a particular area. More information is generally better than less.

P.S. There is virtually NO ONE on the registry that did not do prison time for their crime BEFORE being on the registry.

Not only that.... but a sex criminal failing to let people and law enforcement know where they are (a strong indicator that they are up to their old ways again) is a crime unto itself.... and will get the offender sent back to prison.

There's something that I think gets lost in discussions like this. The names and details of ALL convicts are a matter of public record. So the notion that having a public shaming list is going to keep neighborhood's safe, especially in the Internet age, is just ridiculous. If you think that this public information is helpful, but only if you don't have to pay for it, then you are a hypocrite.

OMG i do!!! I do it at any time when i move and to all of the houses of family and buddies. Im completely happy ur spreading the phrase! I genuinely found out there was a entire dwelling of about 7 intercourse offenders by using my prior dwelling, just 1 block away... I moved! Thanks :)

I think that about 10% of people in prison are not guilty of the crime that they were convicted of!
