what are the rights of registered sex offenders?

They have the right to privacy and the right to a second chance. But the public refuses to allow them their rights due to ignorance and paranoia. \n\nMaybe you should be asking what rights have been taken from sex offenders.

The sex offender registry is basically a combination of McCarthyism blacklisting and the Scarlet Letter. \n\nEvery American is granted Due Process of the Law by the Constitution. This means they cannot be punished until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt in a court of law. \n\nThe sex offender registry is a list of people that "might" be a threat and "might" commit another crime. They are being punished for a crime they have NOT even committed yet. \n\nThe only way for this to be Constitutional is if they courts could PROVE beyond the shadow of a doubt that this person is going to offend again. But unless the judge is a psychic... \n\nThey also require sex offenders to live a certain distance from a school. This gives the public a false sense of security. If a pedophile is psychotic enough and has the sexual urge to kidnap and molest a child, the distance rule is not going to stop him. That is like a bank robber worrying about getting a speeding ticket in his getaway car. \n\nOver 90% sex offenses on children happen with someone they already know and have access to.

What a sex offender means in my mind is a person who has made a mistake, paid their debt to society, been in sex offender treatment therapy and should be granted their civil rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. \n\nSex offenders have the lowest recidivism rate of all criminals, with the exception of murder.\n\nA child has a much higher chance of being harmed by a drug dealer/user, drunk driver, gang related incident, etc. But you don't know where these people live do you?

sex offender law need to be seriously under reviews

The registries do nothing but provide a false sense of security. They also do nothing but take the civil rights from those who have already paid their debt to society. The rehabilitated former sex offenders have an overall 3.5% reconviction rate. The rate for child molestation is 1.2% of that and the rate for reoffense in an incest situation is less than 1%. \n\nThere is no need for these registries as they have become. The original intent of these registries were to register the Sexually Violent Predators. This information was also ONLY for Law Enforcement use. They have now become nothing but a vigilante registry for death and harrassment. Even the offenders children are harrassed due to the registry. \n\nMany of the Romeo/Juliet situations go on to marry once the offender is out of jail and the younger is 18. We have many of them in our support group. Therefore, their love for each other, was made into a crime. Now they face harrassment, ostracization, vigilante acts and their children suffer the same. \n\n90 to 95% of sex offenses occur by someone known to the child. A relative, close family friend, well known neighbor, teacher, coach, another child, scout leader, minister, etc. If you people would pay attention to the fact that the registries are GROWING you would be able to see this. They sure aren't growing because of reoffenses.\n\nThis is all nothing but knee jerk, get me more votes legislation. Now it is sex offenders, what group will be next?\n\nAlso, your child has a much higher chance of being harmed by a drug dealer/user, drunk driver, gang related incident, drowning, playground accident or struck by lightening than they have of being harmed by a registered rehabilitated sex offender.

In Canada the public does not have access to the National Sex Offender Registry. It is a database that provides Canadian police services with important information that will improve their ability to investigate crimes of a sexual nature.

Well in case you don't know you can go to your states department of public safety and see all the sex offenders. Usually they have to tell their neighbors when they move in that they are, and usually if the parents are smart they will tell the kids to stay away from there. Many of them get out on parole and have to join the general population, so check it out and make sure your kids or you don't go over to there house.

I don't know, but I would think it's extremely dangerous to put convicted sex offenders in a group home with mentally challenged people. Sounds like it'd be just too easy in that environment for a sex offender to re-offend. Does that make sense?

I don't know about that particular community, but if they are required, all they have to do is put in the local newpaper. There is a section in there for public notices, usually in with the classified section. If it is a big enough story, there may be a news story on it (like if a sex offender is moving into the area), but otherwise, it will be listed in tiny print in the public notices section of the newspaper.

if they register with the proper authorities, I am sure they could.  Most cities require that a sex offender require register with the local law enforcement authority where they plan to live, and require that law enforecement notify the neighbors.

The sex offenders list will just tell you that they are sex offenders, not if they are child molesters.  There are a lot of ways to get on that list, and many of them really aren't that much of a concern (indecent exposure when drunk, for example).  Police officers actually encourage people NOT to look up the lists.  Sometimes people just do one stupid act, then someone thinks they are a pedifile, and they end up being the victim of a lot of hate crimes.

How about what are the WRONGS of sex offenders?

In 1992, the Canadian government established the Corrections and Conditional Release Act that officially gave victims certain rights, primary of which was to receive certain information about offenders as they served out their sentence. Changes to this legislation are currently being considered, for example, the right to make a statement at Parole Board Hearings and/or access audiotapes of those hearings.\n\nYou could try to contact the District Attorney. Then simply ask them to pull up your history and find your case number. Using the case number if you can't, have the DA look through the courts history. Im sure they will have no problem telling you whats going on with the sex offender because the victims were your daughters. If you remember the guys name look on canadas sex offender registry website and try to locate his record/file there, hope i could help...

go online to get the internet web page of your local police, sheriff's office or state police.\nIn my state we go to the sheriff's office site and then put in the name or address or zip code and all the sex offenders including address and pictures come up.\n\nif they say you can not have this information contact your State Representative and ask them to put a BILL in for the safety of the citizens not the criminals.
