It protects children and keeps neigbors alert.

I concur my friend.

All the supporters of Child Pedophiles and Rapist, please review this video. You’ll understand why its the most heinous act one can impose onto another worst then murder.

“Most people use statistics the way a drunk man uses a lamppost: for support rather than illumination.” — Andrew Lang

Highlights the misuse of statistics, where people latch onto data points for personal gain or justification rather than for genuine understanding (if valid to begin with and which is done by the opposition for further understanding).

Understand that FEDS statistics can be altered one way or another frequently. I don’t trust numbers anymore but the arrest and rearrest and the safe happiness of all kids no matter what.

Or a drug dealer or burglar. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 2018 report found that about 68% of released drug offenders were re-arrested within 3 years, and 83% within 9 years. 78% of individuals released after serving time for property crimes are rearrested within five years. The reoffense rate of sexual offenders is a fraction of that.
If sexual crime is the only concern to a parent, there’s a >95% chance that in the event their child is the victim of a sexual offense, that person was not on the registry.
The bottom line is; parents need to be vigilant in keeping watch over everyone in the community.

Respect your belief, but studies have proven otherwise. In fact, studies suggest they may actually increase it by making reintegration into society harder (e.g., housing and employment difficulties). Registries can lead to social isolation, unemployment, and homelessness, which may actually increase the likelihood of reoffending.

I wonder how many people in those communities don’t know they have a rapist/pedophile in their mist.

Depends on the HOA, but commonly, no.

The registry is needed no matter what others are saying against it. Our kids and others have the right to know who we are living next to. Q: Does HOAs allow people on the registry to live in their gated communities?
