The registration requirement is costing too much money (millions of dollars) to our already bankrupted or “in-debt” states, and all that is a waste because study after study conducted by scholars and experts show no benefit for our children. If we want to protect our children, registering first time non-violent offenders is not the answer and it costs too much money and other additional problems. Legislators need to amend these laws. Public humiliation of people will not stop them for committing a crime if they want to do so. The US is the only country that published names of offenders on the website. Other countries with sex offenses laws, like Canada, England, and Australia, do not humiliate their people by publishing their pictures on the internet. We want to punish our people harshly, but that is only costing us money with no benefits. Let’s stop the waste and use the money on things that will truly benefit our children.
