Which would you let free a Sex Offender or a murderer?
366075
This is a loaded, oversimplified question.  Is the murderer a serial killer, or someone who killed her husband because of abuse?  Is the sex offender someone who was 18 and had relations with a 17-year-old who had a fake ID, or someone who committed rape or child molestation?\n\nWhen it comes to setting potentially dangerous persons free, there is no simple answer. Each individual circumstance has to be carefully reviewed.

If you rejoice in the pain and death of a murderer, how are you any different?\n\nIf it is revenge that people crave, life in prison in obscurity would be much worse.

I would not trust a serial killer of any preference, but odds are the seriel killer will be straight (since most people are straight).\n\nThe wedding planner comment is just too low to comment on.

I may be a bit older but I remember when it was a capital offense and rapists got the death penality... This was as recent as the 1960's.  Then came a bleeding heart, liberal society that coddled these monsters, I personally believe these people cannot be reformed by being incarcerated and like a sick animal must be put down.... for their own good as well as societies in general.\n\nNotice I didn't use the politically correct phrase... sex offenders but used the terminology that describes who and what they really are Rapists.and murders... !

Why, it's almost impossible to actually prosecute the offenders that way.  It's a waste of time, it's not going to save anyone.  I would dedicate my life to that cause if I felt it would do any good.  So you get someone's face in the paper when they get caught... most sex offenders do jail time and that does not stop them.  The charges brought against them in civilian stings can almost never be brought to fruition...

First, it's too bad they ever get out of jail.  Second, they do have sites on the internet you can check to see if a registered sex offender lives near you, but they are inherenlty flawed.  I don't think a  sign would work.  I do think that a real estate agent and local sherrif should tell the entire neighborhood as to what is happening though.

Yes definetly.\n\nI pose to you a question, you come home your mum and dad and all your siblings are dead, you see a man in the hall holding a gun up at you with their blood on his hands you have a gun do you draw it and pull the trigger?\n\nAlso another question\nA child sex offender is realeased from jail and re offends, then goes to jail again released with the same result, do you use capital punishment to protect all his future victims?\n\nI am pro capital punishment in out and out clear cut guilty cases (violent/ sex crimes) , as far as i am concerned the fmaily of the victim should have the choice if they want the offender to die, because the offenders death will only bring closure to those he/ she has effected.

Not even close. The majority of **convicted** sex offenders are male. But many studies show that female sex offenders may make up as much as one-third of the total population. It's just harder to convict them because there's often less evidence of the crime.

innocent to be locked up.  if someone has a propensity for criminal behavior, there is a chance they will meet justice eventually.

I'm a bigger proponent of mandatory chemical castration.  Sex offenders are generally people with a mental defect (which is driven my a hormonal imbalance) that causes them to want to control the people they victimize.  The only way to completely eradicate their urge to do wrong (because they could alway drug their victims and then not have to grab them) is to take away the cause of the urge.

you won't have a say if he goes to prison...it will depend on plea bargain, judge or jury. may not go to jail since he was aminor at the time, but he will prob. have to be a registered sex offender for life

call your local police and ask for some one to come on out to your house so you can show them your paper work and make sure they know that the other person has left the building\nand so they can put them in for a missing sexual offender, because they are supposed to tell them before them move where they are moving to and then re-register when they get there.\nso make the telephone call first thing and ask them to send some one out to verify that the sexual offender does not live there any more..\n\nsmile\ngood luck\nand\nGod Bless

Our society likes to believe we practice what we preach but we don't.  If you have served your sentence then you have paid your debt and your past should be forgiven.  However, what you did and your chances of re-offending are fair considerations to potential employers.  I am an active advocate for survivors of sexual assault and child rape/sexual assault.  Pedophiles and rapists are very low on my list of who to help next, but, with sex offenders mandatory registration, I can't help but think we are creating more problems.  Sex offenders need to support themselves but I don't want them around vulnerable populations.  So it is a very difficult situation to solve.

Well... yeah, that is so wrong.  Everything you listed there seems pretty bad to me... rape/molest/death.\n\nThis isn't such a simple issue.  Perhaps it is true that some sex offenders should be in prison for life without parole, but whether the state should execute people for any crime is another issue.\n\nIt actually statistically costs more money to keep a person on death row and deal with the appeals process than it does to just keep them in prison for the rest of their natural life.\n\nOn top of that, some registered sex offenders are people who got caught pissing outside when they were drunk.  I don't think they deserve the death penalty.

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?

this prove that he recovering  and you have nothing to worry about\n\nSometime the state make the crime more serious then it look. Maybe it might be a best idea for YOU to go ACTUALLY MEET him, Like I have. They are working HARD to re entering the socity and this list is making it hell for them.\ndidn't someone say "don't judge until you walk in their shoes"\nYou might want to bring another neigbor\nask your neigbor\n1) how long ago was it (if it more then 5 years ago then it is very unlikely he would offend again)\n2) ask him what is he doing to protect himself from happening it again. There are method he can do such as not allowing any children in his house, bring a friend of his to store etc\n3) The last thing Sex offender want is to go back to jail.\n4) maybe he have a wife maybe you can to her if that helps\n5) you will find it easier to deal with if you go talk to him\nremember the goverment has that list out there for you to use not to haress them

They do tend to ruin far more lives than one-time murderers.. so, no, they shouldn't get the same punishment.  Pervs deserve a much harsher punishment.  And, if you look up the laws and cases involving murders of children, you'll be upset to know that if you kill a kid, here in TX, anyhow, you'll probably only be charged with "injury to a child"...  don't know why but it's easier to kill a kid and get off than for killing an adult..  The law is wrong!
