How To Make Sex Offenders Names Public

"Making sex offenders names public."

Making sex offenders names public does have there ups and downs but i am totally for it. Sex offenders can be men or women it does not matter about what gender the sex offenders are because either way the adult is the one who is taking the innocents of a child. In most cases the child can know there sex offender. The reasons why i think that sex offenders name should be public are, the protection of both genders and children in the area, for the sex offenders names to be out there so they have to live with what they did, so that the people from the community can prevent it from happening again. Sex offenders are very dangerous and we really don't know when they are going to do it again.

Men and women can both sexually abuse someone. Sometimes when your walking by someone you never really think to yourself that the person you just walked by can actually be a sex offender. Sex offenders names are already public but the reason i am for it is because then people actually can try to prevent it by taking there time and looking through the list of sex offenders and what the person did, who is actually by them and live close to them. Both genders can still be harmful, or even harmed. This whole topic and situation is just scary to picture and talk about but personally it needs to be out there, and the sex offenders website for your state needs to be always updated. When your a child you never think that someone can actually do something that harmful for you and it is just sad. Any person has a right to know so that they actually have a chance to protect themselves. Thats one of the reasons why i think that sex offenders name should be

    An argument can be made that sex offenders have been marginalized by society by their actions (no judgment is intended here). Therefore, should they also be accorded the same benefits that are provided by our Government to our citizenry? A sex offender might make the case that if he or she is employed and paying taxes that they should also be able to benefit from federal or state programs that their taxes contribute to. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) believes that federal laws requiring lifetime registration and the restriction of federal funds to states that do not comply with federal sex offender legislation violate the rights of sex offenders. Worse yet, these federal and state mandates (I.e. registration and housing assistance) may actually put children and society at greater risk to sexual offenses because they do not address the underlying causes of sex offenses or educational programs that properly address the controversial issue (Hardenbergh, 2009, p.…

    In light of several tragic events leading to innocent victims of sex offenses, namely that of Megan Kanka, laws mutually known as Megan’s Laws have been established mandating sex offenders to register their locations of residence and employment to alert those in the vicinity to exercise caution. While these laws have been known to generate awareness of sex offenders, they also have been known to cause more harm than good. The laws allow for public roasting of the sex offenders, deterring them from moving on and somewhat enabling them to commit a crime again. Not to mention the costs associated with these laws are quite steep, although it is not possible to put a price on one less victim of a sexual offense.…

    It’s not fair that our justice systems tries to make people think that they try their hardest and follow the law just by pushing for reports to be made on assaults. Why should victims feel the need to make a report if they don’t get enough respect, help or treated with care? Especially if the crime has not been reported as a crime. Not only has the reports been reported as not being a crime, but it sometimes doesn’t get passed to the police to be investigated. Campbell states, No one has correlated the victim’s stories with the record of the accused rapist. She states, “They have previous records of violent offenses and sexual attacks on women”. (Campbell, 2007, pg.18). The police are not going to tell a victim that there is no way your case is going to be reported and there are many more that has not even went on file from years ago. Nor will the police inform a victim even if the suspect has previous records of assault there still is a chance your case is going to be investigated. The victim’s needs to be told the truth instead of lied to, a broken, inconsiderate, broken and a lying Justice system. Catching criminals is what the police are supposed to and don't, ant the main…

    One emergent sub-theme to arise for all participants was the importance and significance of the connection between working with both victims and sex offenders, as they believed it provided a true representation and an overall interconnecting picture, “you get the balance, you get the full sort of picture or you get the full experience or impact from both parties so you don’t become too skewed in a way”.…

    “For every 100 rapists, only three will go to jail, and even then they can get out early for good behavior. Even though more people are reporting rape cases, there is still 54% of victims who won’t report a crime” (RAINN of Justice Department Data). Rape is any sexual contact for which someone doesn’t give permission. Today’s society is helping the rapist by victimizing the victim even more. By making a mockery of it, or by entertaining the thought of letting the rapist go free with just a slap on the wrist. As a result, society has started to excuse rapist by giving custody of the child, not taking the allegations seriously, and by trying to silence the victim and the people who knew something about it.…

    Growing up in Sparta was not easy. The first thing you had to do was to survive the beginning of your life. The most important thing for all Spartan children was to grow up to be a good soldier, so the city’s leaders inspected every baby soon after birth. If a baby wasn’t healthy and strong, they would take it up into the mountains, and they would leave it there to die.…

    Megan's Law

    Megan’s Law deals with child molesters and sex offenders by requiring a public registration when they are released from incarceration. The concern with registering sex offenders has progressed to a nationalized level, with the government requiring every state to have some form of law that deals with Megan 's Law (Menendez, 251). However, is this law constitutional? In this position paper the laws of being notified of sex offenders and their registration, and their accordance with the constitution will be evaluated. It is the argument of this essay that making the offenders register and then notifying the surrounding society of their convictions is an added penalty that solely convicted sex offenders deal with and the law needs to be abolished.…

    This is an example of how an ex-felon liberty is limited upon their release from prison. The ex-child molester may not like the idea of having their name put online because they would face an enormous amount of discrimination but such legislation has been declared constitutional since it serves to protect vulnerable civilians (children). Whether or not sex-registry laws need reformation is neither here or there. The main argument is that sex-registry laws have an intrinsic value in aiding the safety of children near an ex-child molester. However, what benefit is there in preventing ex-felons from voting. There is absolutely no correlation in preventing ex-offenders from voting with preventing ex-felons from committing crime. If such legislation did prevent ex-felons from committing crime then there would be some sort of justification. So where does the intrinsic value lie in legislation that prevents ex-felons from…

    I am the father of 4 children. I have three daughters; 23, 14 and 7 and a 21 year old boy. The thought of my children, any of them, older or younger, being the victim of a sex offense scares me to death. I have always been in favor of the National Sex Offender Registry. I have thought of the sex offender registry as a tool. Since having my children, whenever I have moved to any location I always check the sex offender registry to look for registered sex offenders in the area and have decided not to move to certain homes because…

    The state of Georgia requires the disclosure of every sex offender’s address in a given area. Research also show that 67% of sexual assaults are victims under the age of 18. Almost 2/3 of all sexual assaults are committed by someone who knows the victim. At the moment all 50 states have a registration and tracking system to monitor the sex offenders’ movement. In the past there have been various attempts to enact laws that help register people who’ve committed crimes (sexual assault). The most noted law was the Jacob Wetterling Act; this law required states to put into action a Crimes against Children and Sex Offender Registry. Jacob Wetterling has never been found.…

    Sex offender registration was largely brought out as a means of increasing public awareness of sex offenders to support community safety. According to Sage Journals (2005), records of 121 registered sex offenders in Kentucky showed that, “social stigmatization, loss of relationships, employment, and housing, and both verbal and physical assaults are experienced by a significant minority of registered sex offenders." Sex offender registration is publicly accessible nationwide, basically for the safety and cognizance of those living in the same community. So now these sex offenders have a mark on their heads, and I could only image how damaging that can be to a person who may want to move on or just lay low. Another example would be the collateral consequences of incarceration alone. There are many states that where employment opportunities for people who have been behind bars are extremely limited. Most states authorize employers to deny jobs to anyone with a criminal record, despite how much time has elapsed since, or the individual's work background or even personal circumstances. For some locations someone doesn’t even need to be convicted to suffer from collateral…

    “terrible person.” However, he’s or she could have just been 18 while their partner was 16 and then they were convicted. Males go through so much hate and judgment more than women if people found out they are a registered sex offender. People think their mindset is all about messing with kids, and how nasty they are. On the other hand women have a better chance of explaining themselves before the public gets to judging them. They get to explain into further details about the case, and why the verdict came to the decision, also and get to explain convince the people that it was a onetime thing and how it will never happen again. Everyone makes mistakes, but people believe that males are held to a higher standard and that they should know right from wrong, but women have the window to make as many…

    I also feel that the laws for sexual child abuse are also very strong and able to protect children. The punishment for sexual assault on a child is fifteen years to life of imprisonment. Also if you have committed a sexual crime against a child, then you are legally required to register as a sexual offender. This requires you to live a certain distance away from areas that have children present on a regular basis (W/K Law Corporation, 2015). I feel like this would help to prevent these individuals from have access to children. However, even with these precautions put into place, there are still too many cases of sexual assault against…
