| Here in Indiana there are a lot, you hear about it everyday on the news...
So there are a lot; usually a bunch of dumb rednecks who can't keep it in their pants... (edited by Ghost on 05-05-06 11:32 AM) |

| I.... live in Indiana. If I heard about it literally every day I'd be kind of uneasy. It seems much more likely to hear about an old lady getting robbed and killed, or a drive by shooting, and i don't even live in that big of a city. | |||

I live in a nice county... Besides, I have nothing to worry about... If someone wanted to rape me, I would kick their ass until they wished I would kill them. I lift weights and body-build.  |

| I could care less how many registered sex offenders live in my area. The whole thing is being handled terribly so it does'nt mean very much. I once interned in a program that worked with sex offenders, and what i quickly realized was that the vast majority of the poor scmucks being listed as sex offenders did'nt really deserve to be. Most were men who had consentual sex with their teenaged girlfriends when they were pretty young them damn selfs. But you'd never know that by the registry, because it either listed no details of what actually happened, or only listed the name of the charge, and the name of the charge seldom had much to do with what actually happened and usually made it sound much worse than it actually was. For example, i knew one guy who had consentual sex with a 16 year old. His charge was indecent sexual assault on a minor. If i had only seen the charge name i'd have thought he forcibly raped a small child. I would also occasionally meet someone who had done something very fucking serious and not have to register at all. I met a guy who forced a girl to give him oral sex at knife-point, and all he got was a corruption of minors charge in a plea-deal, which means he does'nt have to be listed as a sex offender. Another guy raped his 6 year old daughter regularly until she was 11, and only got the charge of endangering the welfare of a child, so he also does not have to register. Those were the rare cases though. At leat 60% of the 150 or so i came across in my internship were really ordinary guys who got hooked up with a slightly underage girl and got hammered hard for it. Thats why we have 3 million + sex offenders in the USA, because people can be made to register as one over the pettiest circumstances. | |||

| There will always be people that randomly get let through the system with heinous crimes or get smacked hard for harmless ones.
Of course, I think that the charge for the whole underage thing depends on where you are. Here in Virginia, it's a combination of statutory rape and either contributing to the delinquency of a minor or carnal knowledge of a child under 15 (I think; not sure on that second one), depending on the age. Of course, this is also the state in which oral and anal sex are both illegal, so... yeah. That would be a REALLY crappy reason to be listed as a sex offender. |

Pfft... TDPS has been down for awhile now, sheesh! I'm betting that San Antonio has at least 100 sex offenders.  (edited by [GGS] Cruel Justice on 05-08-06 01:36 AM) |

| Skreename - true, there will always be injustice. But in the case of "sex offenders" it just seems like there is a lot of hysteria and ignorance out there, and its ruining a lot of perfectly redeemable lives. Most people would'nt believe the numbers of men being made to register for life over complete and utter bullshit. And that usually ruins their lives. Just look at this thread to see how much of a stigma that puts on someone. Immediately the assumption is that these men are out prowling around the playground for little kids to rape, when having worked with them i know the reality is quite different. Those people are out there, no doubt, but the majority of people listed as sex offenders are for otherwise consentual sex with a teenager. In both the areas i've worked in, thats how it was. Oftentimes that charge will show up as Statutory Rape, but not always. I've seen it listed as Sexual Assault, Deviant Sexual Assault On A Minor, Child Abuse 2nd degree, Indecent Assault, etc. None of which appear to describe the "crime" to me. But on the registry details of what happened are few and far between, mainly its just the charge name, which is almost always misleading and looks many times worse than what actually happened. Many of the men i had worked with had severe problems in life, not so much because they had a big rapo problem, but because no one would look past the label "sex offender" and give them a chance. Some even got assaulted because they were thought to be child molesters. These men were'nt really getting a chance to redeem themselves and be productive citizens again, they were being permanently made into some sort of "untouchable" caste outside of regular society. For the guys who actually did have a problem this made their problem worse as it drove down their self-worth.
In my opinion this needs to be abolished, what needs to be done is an honest assessment of these people, then the ones who really are dangerous and mental can be locked away in an insane asylum for everyones safety, and the poor dupes who got railroaded over a promiscuous teenager with strict parents can have a chance at life again. Here in America we are in the grips of sex offender hysteria though so its unlikely that it will get fixed, most likely it will just get harsher and harsher. The fucked up thing is that the people we have listed as sex offenders right now are actually LESS likely to reoffend than most other types of offenders, despite all the rhetoric. In my area we did a study. Out of the 300 sex offender who had been in that little area in the last 10 years, only 25 had reoffended, but 21 of those reoffenses were not sex offenses, they were DUIs and fist fights or other minor things. Only 4 had reoffended with a new sex crime. (edited by Jomb on 05-09-06 08:16 PM) |
