THIS MAN WAS ABSOLUTELY PRESCIENT

Why is it so hard for so many people to admit that there is just plain EVIL People in this world that are beyond redemption and rehabilitation
The only thing impeding their rehabilitation, is themselves.
I am surprised they didn’t go any further in masking the term, such as some want to do with “pedophile”: minor-attracted person.
All they are doing is giving the dictionary definition. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “sex offender” as “a person who committed a crime involving a sex act”. Not exactly a powerful euphemism.
“Adult who commits sexual offenses.”
What they are trying to imply here is that all adults are capable of sexual offensives. There is no evil. Any of you could be rapists or child molesters.
Because “adult who commits sexual offenses” sounds so much better then “sex offender”. These people are insane.
I feel safer already. I was so worried about the self esteem of sexual deviants. That’s way more important than the lives of those they destroyed. The last thing I should want to do is hurt the feelings of child rapists. Giving them new names will help the healing and insertion back into society of those who deserve death.
“will be called an “Adult who commits sexual offenses.”
BS. The correct title should “sick Fx who should be shot”.
“Those who control language control minds.” Ayn Rand

I actually thought it was the Bee. leave it to stupid liberals to come up with stupid labels..
>> You write: “Leaving aside the documented fact that most sex offenders will re-offend and rehabilitation is a waste of time, what could these people be thinking?”
>>
The change in labeling language seems pointless. So on that we agree.
But the article you cite in the language quoted above actually says the opposite of what you cite it for. I did some machine learning analysis of recidivism for offenses other than sex offenders a while back. So I actually read your article with some interest.
Regarding recidivism, I was surprised by these data in the article.
“While there are no recent, official statistics on national sex-offender recidivism, an overview of studies looking at the numbers in Connecticut, Alaska, Delaware, Iowa and South Carolina found that the rate is about 3.5% for sex offenders. That figure takes into account all crimes, including parole violations, not just sex crimes.”
By way of contrast, about 2/3 of jailed criminals will be rearrested within two years of release — that’s a 66% recidivism rate. (see https://harvardpolitics.com/recidivism-american-progress/ regarding the 2/3 figure). So sex offenders are much less likely to reoffend than the average incarcerated person.
Regarding the effect of therapy, the article you cited also suggests the opposite of what you cite it for. Here is the article:
“In 2010, research published in the American Journal of Public Health suggested that strict laws about registration, surveillance and residency can create a feeling of hopelessness and isolation that can actually facilitate re-offense. Several studies show that rehabilitative therapy, when paired with legal measures, can give offenders a sense of hope and progress and reduce recidivism rates by as much as 22%.”
SEX OFFENDERS CANNOT BE REHABILITATED
Colorado turned to drugs now perverts.
Nice, huh?
So sexual assaulters and pedos are the next victim group, eh?
I suppose they will be called Undocumented Boyfriends.
The new title should be “the late”.
As in the late Joseph Rosenbaum
Take a short well understood word and make it a longer confusing less descriptive phrase:
thief - Person who forgot to pay for item(s) they own.
murderer - Person who caused bodily functions to cease.
speeder - Person operating vehicle with rotating wheels at high revolution.
that’s so mild, it’s almost polite...
““Adult who commits sexual offenses.” “
The problem, with that is that children who aren’t yet adults can be sex offenders.
Book mark under more insanity.
