SO registry laws don’t work

FAC Contributor #9 40 Comments min read

According to Professors Meghan M. Mitchell, Kristen M. Zgoba, and Alex R. Piquero in the Tampa Bay Times, those who commit sexual offenses are usually not strangers.

A link is provided to the meta-analysis study of 25 years of findings showing that SORN is not only ineffective but has not reduced sexual recidivism at all.

So why do we have these policies?  As a response to fear and outrage over several child murder cases.  It is all window-dressing to feel safe.

Our ineffective registry tries to dehumanize individuals, making it more difficult for them to find jobs, secure housing and social support – all needed for a successful reintegration back into society, something that society needs.
