"An In-Depth Look at the Sex Offender Registry

Wednesday, March 01, 2006, 4:03:14 AM

KCRG-TV9 News

As a citizen, I think we should all be very concerned about lists...having people on lists for doing this, that and the other thing," Cindy Engler, who works with sex offenders, said.

High profile cases of child sexual abuse, abduction and murder....like Jetseta Gage....steal the spotlight. Nearly fifty children get abducted and murdered every year...in the entire country. That's a small number some parents say is still too large.

You might be saying to yourself...sex offenders have a low re-offense rate because of the registry. But, actually two studies by the State of Iowa show the registry has had little or no effect on re-offense rates.


If the number of offenses do not decline, what good are the registries?

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
