Unfortunately as has been illustrated time and time again, facts, statistics, and reality itself are not really a consideration with sex offenders and sex offender registries.

They are too valuable of a political “tool” which can be used to emotionally manipulate the masses with fear and give the false appearance that government and law enforcement are actually doing something useful when in fact the exact opposite is true.

By creating a false sense of security with these proven useless registries, parents are fooled into thinking that all they need do is check a map for red dots to keep their children safe when the reality is that they should be watching NOT those on a proven useless list but those who they and/or their child already know!

Stranger danger just as sex offenders are simply over simplification of a subject most do not want to face and government Lauren Book) and LE are more than happy to continue this grand lie for their own agendas.

States have resisted such studies for many years because they feared that the results wouldn’t fit their preconceived ideas about the registry laws. When Michigan finally performed their own study on recidivism among sex offenders, for example, the stunningly low rate lead to fairer decisions by the parole board. Without that study, I might still be in prison myself. The hard part to overcome about the registries is that they are such a good propaganda tool for politicians. They seem to have no problem lying to the public if it will win them some votes.

The legislators inaction with this bill is a testament to their concerns. NOT what is right and just…but what will get me reelected.

As long as our legislators continue to ignore the facts and fail in their responsibilities to all citizens of the nation, our oppressed sector of society will eventually reach the ‘boiling point’.
