Excellent article. He makes some god points. The problem is How do we sort out the real troublemakers from the ones who just made one mistake?

Sex offender registries simply beg the question, why are violent offenders (I am not talking about someone had underage sex with someone else who was underage) of any sort out on the streets to begin with?

dying at the hands of a registered sex offender.

Yes and molestation is no big deal right?

[OpeEdMunkey]

Studies have consistently shown sex offenders, as a whole, have a far lower rate of re-offending than any other crime type. Even long-term studies by reputable researchers found low rates of recidivism (between 2%-10% in most studies as long as 15 years)

Truly statistics are your friend regardless of which side of the argument one is on.

I wonder if these are the reliable studies that included large numbers of incarcerated sex offenders who did not have the opportunity to re-offend.
