Man, people are put on the registry way too easily.
If they REALLY only included REAL sexual predators on the registry, the recidivism rate on that list WOULD be high, I think.
But because of the vast numbers of ways you can end up on the registry, the REAL dangerous folk are thrown in with everyone else and LESS attention is paid to them.
And that’s the worst part. You look on a map and there’s 4 million offenders in your area. Come on man. Show me who is a REAL danger. Otherwise it defeats the purpose.
Yep.
I’m not sure if this figure is correct but I believe(I could be wrong) that the registries contain around 5% or so of offenders that are highly likely to offend again, and have been deemed predatory.
They’re delighted that thousands are added to the registry every year, and that legislation writes more laws that will get people on the registry.
The married couple that kidnapped Jaycee and imprisoned her for 18 years actual had the Parole officer visit their residence multiple times while she was there. I believe on one visit they claimed she was their daughter, or niece or something and the officer didn’t even look into it. It’s really terrifying. There must be people out there that are getting away with some really twisted stuff. That’s what keeps me up at night.
