Sure, let's make it even harder for these folks to conform to societies demands for acceptible behavior.
First, we are going to make every sexual offender since 1960, no matter the actual charge, paint their face onto the world-wide web for anyone (including employers, local survivors just looking to cause someone ELSE some grief for a change, or a busy-body naighbor that just loves to spead gossip) to look up, allowing any one of these people to target the offender for any number of 'legal' hate crimes (posting pictures, taking out radio ads, picketting their homes, petitioning the city to have them forcibly removed...). THAT'S all legal, so who the heck CARES about causing the offender any grief?
It is my personal opinion that at least 90 percent of first time sexual offenders will never commit another sexual offense. I believe the govenor of Iowa said the same thing a few days back (it was in an article in the local paper because a town in Volusia County is refusing to enact the more insane SO laws and either Des Moines or Iowa as a whole was mentioned as reference).
What truely needs to be done is to psychologically evaluate each case AS IT LEAVES THE PRISON SYSTEM to determine if the 'first offense' was a fluke (accidents DO happen, mistakes ARE made). Now, I'm not talking about a simple session or two with a fly-by-night shrink here. I'm talking about a minimum of 6 months in a psych ward with daily sessions with a (perhaps) federally certified sexual psychologist.
Should that psych return a good result, then the offender can be released without further consequence. A bad result would mean that the offender would be monitored, either by web listings or the new GPS tracking several states have been proposing. A second offense (of any kind) would then result in LIFE IN PRISON.
Should the released offender, the one with a good psych result, stay clean for a number of years (let'ds say 10, just for this post) then he or she can petition for their civil rights (voting, wepons laws, etc) to be reinstated.
I do not think that ANYTHING that does not require a psych workup will be effective in combating the ever-growing (or should that be ever-mediatized) trend toward sexual offenses. Placing people on websites, forcing them to wear a GPS device (similar to a house arrest anklet), or forcing them to be the subject of mandatory criminal background checks will only make things worse (see a related thread, started by me - should be viewable in a couple of days).
