There are some twists and turns here. The vast majority of sex offenders are people who got drunk and urinated in public, and other “frivolous” non-offenders. These are Class 1 sex offenders, and are low risk of re-offending.
Class 2 sex offenders are a mix of those who repeatedly offend in lesser ways and have a high likelihood of reoffending; and those who made serious offenses just once, and may or may not reoffend.
Class 3 sex offenders are the real nasties: repeat rapists and molesters.
So the bottom line is what the public wants are *some* of the Class 2 offenders, and *all* of the Class 3 offenders kept off the streets.
Since their supreme court has now rejected extensive parole, the obvious solution is life imprisonment. Likely to create a prison just for them, since even other prisoners despise and often kill them.
Won't matter. We had push back on homosexual marriage with referendums and amendments, where did that go?
What needs to happen with sex offenders is that they need to be housed in the judge's neighborhoods for several years after released.
My wife was 19 and I was 23 when we married.
We didn’t have relations until after marrage.
