Sex Offenders.

omg i got 49 of them:cry::cry::cry:

i just check with using the other website it went from 49 to 100.:cry:

3 unmappable what kind of a world do we live in.:cry:

I don't even think the UK has a system like that but personally I think they should be exposed because they shouldn't have done what ever they did in the first place.

That's why they are sent to prison. After they've served their years and have paid their debt to society, they're supposed to be forgiven and able to move on with their lives. Having to register as a sex offender and bear a tag like that for the rest of their lives defeats the very purpose of imprisonment. Surely you must see that?

I've got 5 in my general area, but only one that's close. He's about two blocks from where I live.

21. ******* Las vegas everyone's a sex offender.

I live in Canada, and there is no such website. Therefore the only logical conclusion I can make about sex offenders in Canada, is that they do not exist here. Huzzah!

Think of it this way, would you consider it fair for people with speeding tickets and 1st degree murderers to be on a single publicly accessible list.

The first site said 12 are near me and the other one told me that 206 are in my area! :shock:

10 on the first site... but the other one showed more. I didn't see a number for it though, and I don't feel like counting them all.

Edit: Found it, its says 262

Use this site. That one you linked is inaccurate.

Eh, as much as I personally dislike the idea of a criminal having to register for view by the general public, I don't think prison is the only legitimate way to deal with a law breaker, regardless of that law. I think there are probably better arguments against registration than "it's not prison, therefore it's not valid".

On another note, I think the best site for finding the registered sex offenders is your own State's site. My State has one. The information on that site was far more accurate, and far more up to date. And honestly, given some of the crimes that are listed here as sex offenses, I'm even more strengthened in my resolve to oppose sex offender registration. Some of these offenses are so minor and so questionable (urinating in public in plain view, or being seen while nude in your own home), I don't know how they can be put on a list as "high risk" with "no registration expiration", while others who are convicted of rape or child molestation are given "moderate risk" or "low risk" categorizations and have expiration dates associated with their sex offender registration as soon as January of 2020. This is always the danger of something like this IMO... it starts out as an attempt to protect the public from offenders and turns into a catch-all for the most minor of offenses. I certainly don't believe a life sentence is appropriate for some of these very minor offenses, even if it is only a life sentence to register your identity and your crimes for public consumption.

You fail completely so see my point and you make it sound as if I think they should go without punishment. I do not. But I don't think they should have to serve a life long punishment for a crime that they have to serve maybe 10-15 years prison time for. Can't you see the unnatural way of dealing with it like that?

I find sex offensive.

lmao...so does Bender.

I checked with http://www.familywatchdog.us and it showed 406offenders and 198non-mappable offenders.

[QUOTE="Scarebaby"]

[QUOTE="F1_2004"] I thought sex offenders are the most likely to repeat their crimes? Something like 3-4 times more likely? If there's a registry that will protect the law abiding citizens at the expense of sex offenders, I don't see why you'd be opposed to that. I mean really, it's not like most sex offenders accidentally made a mistake and did a crime of passion - you don't accidentally fall into someone and rape them. They've thought about what they were doing and what the consequences would be.F1_2004

I have no problem with the government having them on a list, I have a problem with the general public knowing where they live, because the general public are stupid and I don't see why these people should be put at unnecessary risk of someone vandalising their homes or breaking in and murdering them. Why DOES the general public need to know, what will they do with that information? I honestly can't think of what they'd do outside of going out of their way to harass the person on the list.

And as mentioned several times, not every sex offender is a child molester or a rapist. This seems to be a popular assumption that only rapists and child molesters are on this list. You could have 50 living by you and not one of them a rapist or child molester.

And as stated, they did their time and they should be allowed to go on with their lives, not hounded by the general public for all eternity out of some twisted idea of "vengeance" that people seem to have. And if they are "4 times as likely to repeat their crime" maybe that says more about the prison system than it does them. Perhaps if the prison system cared more about rehabiliation instead of revenge and punishment, they wouldn't commit the crime again. I think rehabiliation would really help crime, because honestly prison isn't a big deal to your hard criminal. If anything it's more a school on how better to get away with your crimes.

Nicely put, Pirate. ;)

Holy crap, there's one living in my house!
