‘All Sex Offender Laws Should Be Abolished’ to be debated in NY next week.
At the next Soho Forum/Reason debate, on Monday, February 12, 2018, the question of whether sex offender registries are effective or do more harm than good will be debated.
Representing the argument that sex offender registries should be abolished, is Emily Horowitz, professor and chair of the sociology and criminal justice department at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, New York,
Representing the argument that sex offender registries are effective, is Marci A. Hamilton, Professor of Practice and Fox Family Pavilion Resident Senior Fellow in the Program for Research on Religion in the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Soho Forum is a monthly Oxford-style debate, meaning that the audience votes before and after the proceedings and the debater who has moved the most people in her direction is the winner.
If anyone is in NY, we strongly encourage you to attend the debate, which will be held. Mon, February 12, 2018, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM EST at the Subculture Theater, 45 Bleecker St, New York, New York 10012. Tickets are $18 and student rate is $10. You can bring a +1 for free.

You can also watch the debate online at Reason’s Facebook page, which is ironically illustrative of Ms. Horowitz’ argument, since Facebook does not allow registered sex offenders.

I’ve heard that the Florida State Supreme Court has ruled that the electronic monitoring system and equipment are unconstitutional. I am unable to find anything to back up this information. I’d like to know if this is true and, if so, is there anything going on that will cause these expensive abominations to be removed?
