Do we need a revision to this law?

Question

California's sex offenders are having a tough time with new restrictions, so many of them are declaring themselves homeless so that the state has a more difficult time tracking them.

Other states are experiencing problems as well, should you take the time to read the link that I'm providing.

This is a true dilemma... What to do? How to deal with it?

Answer 1

Not a revision, no. We need a strict, and decisive law, that says "If you mess with my kid, you're going to MF die!" I'll have NO problem in committing a murder, on those who deem they have the right to harm an innocent, as in children. Libs, my intent is not to harm you physically in any way, even though a lot of you advocate murder, by agreeing with abortion. I mean, to harm those, whoever they may be, who would abuse a child already born, so there is no issue about cells, embryo's, or a growing baby.

Quietman- quiet my buns! Sir, your validation of sex-crimes appalls me, and most Americans! Talk about housing??????!!!!!! My son, who is 10 years old, and I, are being forced to move because the owners, not being able to sell this 4plex for $850,000, have changed it into a subsudized housing for so-called recovering alcoholics, and drug abusers, with no one to watch them, and with 4 liquor stores within walking distance! They, one apartment rented to one "family" has already stolen the cans, and bottles my son and I save for extra money to live! Want to know what they stashed at the bottom of the trash can we used to save those cans and bottles? 4 empty beer cases. Is that right to you?????

Answer 2

It's very difficult to stay off of the government registry and continue with a "normal" life. I think those who successfully are able to do so are very minimal.

The law is there to protect citizens and children from those who place no regard to the laws concerning consential sex. Obviously there are going to be those who have no regard to any law including one that places restrictions on where a sex offender can live. Just because a law is broken does not mean the law is flawed. The article states there are hundreds of sex offenders who are stating they are homeless among thousands or tens of thousands. The situation would be much worse without this and similar laws in place.

I do however support a revision to the law to make the restrictions based upon severity of the offenders case. A 19 year old kid who is convicted of having alleged sex with a 16 or 17 year old should not be treated in the same manner as someone who has been convicted of several child molestation cases involving 6 or 7 year olds.

Answer 3

While I completely agree that we need to do something to reduce the re-offend rate in sex crimes (and all others for that manner) I have always thought the distance requirement was probably the stupidest idea I have heard of. Sex offenders have cars. Sex offenders can walk. Make them live 2000 feet away from a school? Nice little walk on the way. Make it 10 miles? Short little drive. If they are going for an abduction they are going to want a car for a quick getaway anyhow. Making them drive a couple of blocks changes nothing.

If we want to track sex offenders we need to put technology to work. GPS technology and ankle brackets will go a lot further than some limit to how close their home can be to a school or park.

Answer 4

If this is AQA then he would desire to in all possibility revise theft, criminal harm, theft, burglary. For module 6 he would desire to revise 3 of the themes in complete - the examination board misses one subject count variety variety out each and every and each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days so if he revises 3 he has a solid danger of having solid marks on module 6. additionally, module 6 is particularly worth one hundred twenty marks, on an identical time as module 5 is only incredibly worth ninety - so as this is a robust danger to advance his marks.

Answer 5

I agree it is an issue which needs to be resolved. However, how can a sex offender (who probably doesn't have a decent paying job) afford to live in SF or So. Cal.?

There is a lot of empty land in the expansive Mojave Desert with very few schools and parks.

Why not set up a trailer park community out there?

Being a sex offender should have its negatives and I can't think of anything worse than having to deal with the Mojave sun (110+ degrees F) during the middle of summer.

Answer 6

Truthfully, they have been made outcasts of society because they are dangerous to society. They have difficulty finding jobs not to mention a neighborhood that won't drive them out when they are found out. Nobody wants them around. Some of these people have been labeled sex offenders for life because some girl lied about her age. This is completely unfair and should be dealt with accordingly.

Pedophiles and rapists would probably be better off locked up for life in work programs unless somebody figures out the malfunction in their brain that causes them to be offenders in the first place. Maybe a lobotomy could be an option for them like in the 50's. That sounds pretty radical, and I'm not really suggesting that, but what are the options that would work for everyone involved?

Answer 7

It's the law of unintended consequences at work here. I don't know the answer, though, because there are legitimate fears to be managed.

One thing that could be changed, though, is to determine just exactly what we all believe is truly a sex offender. We all agree on the worst of the worst, of course, but what about that kid just released from 2 years in Georgia? He was 17 and had consensual sex with a 15-year-old, which put them each on opposite sides of the child-adult line, as I understand it. These so-called Romeo-and-Juliet situations should NOT be hung on someone for the rest of his life - yet, as I understand it, these people are tossed into the same hole as the incorrigibles.

Answer 8

No. This is an INVENTED dilemma. They can quite well find housing not near schools. This is just another excuse NOT to register, and the article tells you as much. It's not that they can't find somewhere to live outside the proscribed zones; it's that they're looking for a way OUT of having tabs kept on them, for what they have done.

I just got done 17 weeks of jury duty. This one was a REAL popular offense. They simple refuse to register their where-abouts.

There's plenty of available housing outside school zones. The % of such offenders is small enough NOT to have a problem finding housing outside these zones. They simply don't want to be monitored.

The solution is; if they do NOT register, or try to say they are homeless, put them into the closed military bases which Clinton littered the country with. Under guard. They're everywhere. Plenty of room. Make them pay rent for upkeep of the secure facility to house them. They can go work during the day, outside the base, but must return at night by an established hour. Curfew if you will.

If they don't care for the arrangements, they can find housing which complies with the law. If they choose not to do that, they can certainly go back to jail.

"Problem" solved.

Answer 9

Not all sex offenders are child molesters. If a guy leaves a bar, goes to a back alley to "relieve" himself (pee on the wall) and gets caught, he can be charged with indecent exposure and is now considered a sex offender. If an 18 year old has sex with his 15 year old (1 day away from 16), he can be charged with statutory rape and is a sex offender. (I'm not condoning these acts, just pointing out that the term "sex offender" is a very broad categorization)

So yes, the law should be changed. It should apply to child molester and level 3 sex offenders (the most violent and most likely to repeat).

Answer 10

If they have no home, give them one, behind bars where they belong. It is well documented that sex offenders will offend again given the opportunity. For certain level sex offenders (I'm not talking about the ones arrested for indecent exposure because they relieved themselves at the side of the road), if they don't have a residence, they should report to lockup

Answer 11

300,000,000 people 100,000 sex offenders . .03% of people are sex offenders . The chance of meeting one is one in 3000 people .
Castration works .Place a collar around their necks after wards so they can not manually molest children because they are taught to stay away from them . If they kidnap a kid then we execute them where they stand .

Why not create a fenced off residential housing unit for them all within large cities . They can have a psychologist do group with them each day for an hour .
