"Should homeless sex offenders be punished for not complying with registration laws..."
Was the original thread title started back in April of 2004. So that pre-dates the new zoning laws and has given us time to see how the results of such a poll may have changed. Proximity laws will of course produce more homeless sex offenders. For those on one side it will mean more legitimate reasons to lock up former offenders for new charges that will in many cases carry stiffer penalties than their original offense. On the other side those who are truly struggling (and yes, folks it is a bit of a struggle for an offender to find housing/employment) to be legal and legitimate will have yet another mountain to climb.
The news is full of yet another sex offender who has killed. Hmm, could his inability to meld into society have contributed? No excuse for his crimes, but do we need to look at some of the contributing factors? Hindsight is almost always 20/20 and many would say he should never have been released or that he should have been detained on his most current arrest. So how do we apply this to the next guy?
Fact: Most sex offenses are committed by first time offenders.
Fact: Most of those offenders will not spend their life in prison. They will return to society.
Fact: Society must deal with the first two facts.
