This is a sad case because justice wasn't served and we'll probably never know whether the murdered man was guilty of the crime he allegedly committed.
Even though some claim that community notification of registered sex offenders in the United States leaves offenders open to vigilantism, the media leaves me to believe that the frequency of murder, attempted murder and violence against alleged and convicted sex offenders in the U.K. is *much* higher. In fact, I've read more cases involving people in the U.K. and they have less than 1/4 of the population of the U.S., a registered sex offender population less than 1/10 that of the United States' and no publicly accessible sex offender registry. I know there are differences in the culture between the U.S. and the U.K., but I can't help but wonder whether the lack of a public sex offender registry in the U.K. is contributing in some way to the frequency of violent attacks against sex offenders and alleged sex offenders.
