reoffending is really high with sexual offenders. I wrote a piece and interviewed a guy (who served his time in Florida) who said he cannot be near kids. He knows he can't control himself, so his roomie, so to speak, was basically his jailer. Roomie monitored his coming and going (never alone) Internet use and phone use.
There is no evidence that it works. There is, however, evidence that letting them out of jail, registering and monitoring them does not, partly because statutory rapists and violent offenders all register on the same list, the housing issues that are forcing them to be homeless or move to rural areas, and the vengence of the public. I am really only advocating life sentences for the truly violent offenders particularly with child victims.
OK, how about this: You put an implant in their penis, like they do to identify dogs, and then put sensors everywhere kids go and if they go there an alarm goes off. Wait, kids go everywhere...
Heres another twist, someone might like to think about. This is a small Eskimo village in the Yukon Delta area, most Alaskans havn't even heard of it. The school, day care and Head Start program are in the center of town. The edge of town is less than a 1/4 mile from the school in any direction. The total population is between 115 and 140. In this village there are numberous registered sex offenders. Take a look at them......... http://www.dps.state.ak.us/sorweb/l...earchForm$City=KOTLIK&ExecuteQry=Submit+Query No bridges to sleep under and most of the local villages are in the same state of size and population and numbers on the sex offender list. Just a little fuel for more conversation......Alaskan
why is this in the mens forum, surley this issue effects just about everyone in one way or another? S
I did of course mean that this issue effects all of us as human beings and just because most sex offenders are men I don't see why it should go in here S
Actually there are quite a few women sex offenders. Many women are paedophiles and are just as predatory. The fact is that society cannot stomach that fact and they are treated with far less contempt and the cases are almost hushed up ! estimated figures say around 10% of sex offenders are women in some countries of the west http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/psychology/female_offenders/6.html http://www.canadiancrc.com/articles/ABC_Letournea_2020_30SEP04.htm http://www.nbc4.com/news/9185434/detail.html http://cjr.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/27/2/284 so dont be idiots and try to criminalise all males or only males and like a few other posters have said here, why just repeat the same old shit that people spout in such a discussion like you want to express your outrage by inflicting terrible punishments. Well unfortunately that approach dont work, and locking people up for life is a bit harsh if they havent murdered anyone I think people who hammer on about this subject in a way where they only express that they want to harm sex offenders are just as evil as those who are sex offenders. Its all just ignoring the issue which is, what is wrong, or is anything wrong? lets not forget that until about 220 years ago people aged 11 and 12 would be married and would have had an adult life by the time of 13 and kids by the age of 14. Why cant there be a debate from scratch on the issue instead of a rehash of the tired old bollocks in the press and on telly?
You know...many, many sex offenders get off with just probation on the first offense and many, many more get off with just months in a county jail. Meanwhile, there are nonviolent drug offenders that get years in state prison. Just a thought.... I get kinda annoyed when people defend sex offenders constantly and act like they have it so bad. I do think it's sad that many of them become practically homeless and I do believe those people should get HELP and try to be rehabilitated but seriously.. they should have thought about that before they seriously fucked up a person for life..... even if their impulses they can't help, they can help their actions and get help before acting.
To be totally honest, I would've put it in the main forum but for some reason it wouldn't let me start a new topic there. So I figured this was the best next place to post it. Also, I'm gonna take issue with the opinions that they all deserve it. The fact is that there are plenty of men who have been falsely accused of rape. Take for isntance, a relatively common occurence: Both participants get really drunk. The women consents verbally. They have sex. The next day the women regrets it and calls the cops. I've seen it happen to one of my good buds. It's not pretty.
Here's an idea: Don't have sex with drunk chicks. Lot of guys think getting us drunk is a great way to get us to have sex. They may not deserve to be sex offenders, but that shows premeditation, and it's a stupid thing to do. Have sex with someone that you are in a relationship with. I agree that not all of them deserve it. My mom was 15 and and my dad was 20. Back in the day, that was frowned upon...but they are still married after 38 years.
Just my opinion, and after the events of today, I'm ready to let it fly.... Sex offenders, especially pedophiles, don't get even half of what they truly deserve as punishment. I don't know what the answer is...I sure don't want to pay for them to be in prison for years on end, but they don't deserve to roam free. The fact that many of them are ending up homeless won't solve anything, but it sure is a step toward poetic justice for their victims. A victim of sexual abuse probably never really feels comfort again, so neither should their abuser. This opinion won't get me any popularity points, but if capital punishment was the sentence for sexual abuse/rape/child molestation...maybe it wouldn't happen so frequently. Why should the rest of us have to deal with homeless sex offender pyschopaths?
If you stopped to think about it you would realise they are far more dangerous as homeless people than as people with an address. Far Far more dangerous. A drug addict fucks up just as many people for life. A friend of mine has a son who has made his parents life a living hell as a crack addict, humiliated them, and made them feel like abject failures for how he turned out. They are good decent people and they are not alone, that guy also robbed off their neighbours and basically screwed up a whole community. Hows that for abuse. Crack addicts and herion addicts beat up old ladies for money, make life a living hell for people. They deserve everything they get too then !!! Ok so now what? Nobody is saying they have it so bad, they are saying your tired boring attempts to enrage people against sex offenders is merely hot air if you dont have a cure or a solution, but it isnt working out is it? most of the problem is with gutterpress tabloids that peddal filth in the form of semi naked women posing sexually in newspapers kids can easily get hold of, so in order to make sure you think what they are doing is kinda ok, they deliver to you sex offenders and call them the devil when really they are human beings and in answer to your question about free will - I believe in a determinism whereby there is no free will - so they did not choose what they are - so we lock them up because they cant help themselves. We dont also need to demonise them and demand their death ! (not unless they themselves have killed and even then...). No I advocate along with otrhers that the tired old solutions havent worked and so does anyone have a new solution that doesnt involve more violence to humans? can this really be what you want https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixsc9POvY7E&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpiknik%2Dtube%2Enet%2Fizle%2FIxsc9POvY7E
