NJ: lawsuit seeks to eliminate registration for juvenile sex offenders.
But the question of whether [juveniles] should be on the registry is at the center of an ongoing federal civil rights lawsuit against the New Jersey Attorney General that is seeking to eliminate Megan’s Law registration for all juvenile sex offenders in New Jersey.
The lawsuit raises other questions. Is the the community in more danger without him on that list? Is there even a high chance he would commit another sex crime in his life? Does the harm of putting a juvenile on a sex offender registry outweigh the good?
The lawsuit filed earlier this year on behalf of the 23-year-old, who is only identified in the lawsuit by his initials, argues that there was a rush to judgement when laws were passed creating sex offender registries that included juvenile sex offenders. Research over the last two decades has shown that recidivism rates for juvenile sexual offenders are extremely low and putting them on a registry may actually have little effect on public safety while causing severe psychological harm to the juveniles themselves, experts say.

Viewpoints are good and yes everyone has a viewpoint to speak out on these registry issues. Even this NJ issue of juveniles being on the registry seems a bit overated or is justice finally seeing the light in some of this upside down humiliating way.
Even a lot of this sexplotation by the internet sex operation is vague and callous and juvenile at best. Does true justice defend or pretend in many of these ordeals. Here many of these men in blue do many and most of these internet sex sting operations to protect kids in this pretend game of justice and now they think juveniles on the registry is a bit of a low for this nation, than were is true values and true American way today.
Sure this juvenile thing could upset the condemn that person for the rest of his or her life. Is this the American way for Justice? Is that really true value of American government today. Is government using its sword in the wrong way or did someone rush to judgement to quick or do we all have potty mouths or at times quick tempers. Who does dirversion tactics today on America to get justice in this sex registry witch hunt.
