165. Sex crime registries MUST be very very thorough if they're to be effective
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 02:06 PM by American Tragedy
I don't know about the rest of yall, but on our site it provides mugshots and lists the names, addresses, dates of birth, physical descriptions, and THE SPECIFIC OFFENSE AND COUNTS, i.e. molestation of a child under the age of 12, first degree rape, sexual assault, whatever. Thus, one is able to easily distinguish the truly dangerous criminals, which apparently do comprise the majority of the registry. I haven't found a single one who was convicted strictly of indecent exposure or anything like that.

I fail to understand why individuals guilty of numerous counts of child rape are released into public at all, though. If these individuals are so dangerous with such a great rate of recidivism, why the hell are they let out to live in residential areas?

Incidentally, harrassment of listed criminals is also a punishable offense here.
