## Public Opinion on Sex Offenders
It is widely known that the public opinion of sex offenders is overwhelmingly negative. Similar to the stigma surrounding drug addicts in the past, society’s perception of these individuals is often harsh and unforgiving. However, just as attitudes towards drug addiction have evolved over the years, there is an opportunity for a shift in the way we view and treat those who have committed sex offenses.

****** just grabbed a

I would follow and get involved with groups like NARSOL, ACSOL, Florida Action Committee, and Women against the Registry (WAR). I’ve been following them and they have quite a few lectures on the topic of registries and the impacts they have on registrants and families. Catherine Carpenter and Emily Horowitz are a couple people I came across who do great work on the subject. There are attorneys involved in these groups that file lawsuits to challenge the more restrictive laws. There have been a few notable victories from state supreme courts across the country that have declared the registry to be punitive(for those who don’t know, certain constitutional protections kick in when a scheme is determined to be punitive rather than for civil regulation) and some proposed changes to the registries in these states have been declared unconstitutional. We’re nowhere near abolishing the registry or even close to making it private to law enforcement and and to say that this will be a slow, uphill battle would be the understatement of a lifetime. These court decisions are reasons to be hopeful though. The laws have become more draconian and excessive over the decades and at some period we will eventually hit a tipping point where the courts decide enough is enough; The increasingly harsh restrictions will eventually backfire and work in favor of registrants. Hang in there! And get involved with the advocacy groups. Follow them on YouTube, watch their lectures to educate yourself, make it to the conferences if you can, and share as much of the information with other registrants as you can and whoever will listen.
It’s an emotionally driven opinion, as are the laws. Stories of how the registry punishes families of PFRs (including their children) will help, supported by data. Also unfortunately people will have to be incarcerated for violating these over reaching laws so that challenges can be raised. It’s playing the long game (as it already has been) but the cost and ineffectiveness of the registry has to spelled out in a non-confrontational way to those who support it.
Well, here’s my take/opinion on it (buckle up).
People need a boogie man. News feeds off of reporting bad events and things people fear. Yes sexual offenses are horrible – I don’t think anyone here would challenge that. But they make for GREAT news stories. News makes their living off of eyeballs looking at it (TV/Radio/Newspaper/Social media). That’s why you can almost guarantee your offenses being in the media sphere somewhere over time.
Politicians have spent decades leveraging the victims to be “tough on crime” to create new laws to punish harder and longer. It’s very easy to create more punishment for sex offenses because they are perceived as indefensible. The registry, being a civil regulatory scheme makes it even easier to “punish” (civil schemes aren’t meant to be punishment) because there’s no recourse for enacting new regulations and can be applied retroactively. if someone wants to challenge a politician making new laws around sex offenses, the very next campaign will read that the challenger is “soft on crime” and wants “fair treatment for sex offenders”. This is a sure fire way to make sure you won’t get re-elected. In fact if you want a bill to pass, you simply have to include something in the bill that indicates “think of the children” and no one will be against it.
There are also many many victims of sex offense with unresolved issues. This is the one that saddens me the most because these are the people that truly need help. They often live for years/decades as a victim of sexual assault with no outlet to heal. So when an offender appears before them in the media, they become the object of their hate and anger and want to extract maximum punishment from that individual – even if they have no relationship or have ever had any contact with the person. This transitory property allows them to continue to express anger to any new person who has offended. The registry somehow gives them the sense that eventually all the offenders will be rounded up and they’ll somehow be safe.
IMHO I think there should be a very big effort of outreach to all victims of sexual assault to help promote healing. I’ve been on a few email chains from folks who are victim advocates – and to me it was super clear that they were making sure they had professional victims under their charge.
There’s also money involved here. People make their living on finding/arresting/prosecuting and treating or jailing offenders. If you somehow magically were able to stem or eliminate sex offenses, all of those people in that machine are going to suddenly experience a reduction in funding and/or jobs. We’re 53 years into the “War on Drugs” which has been a colossal failure with billions spent and nothing to show for it. We’re barely scratching the surface of what it takes to arrest and manage offenders. In fact I would go as far as to say we’re a “contained” group. The politicians have managed to reach a good balance of appearing to have “maximum punishment” with reduced cost in that they don’t have as many in prison and honestly don’t care about the ones who are homeless because they continue to struggle financially event decades after sentencing. The states all receive federal funding for being “registry compliant” – even though some are more compliant than others. Heck – if you think about polygraphers, they have the best deal of the bunch. With their kabuki machine they could put their thumb on the scale for a new car every now and again and have no accountability for it at all – they just have to say “well, my folks keep lying” requiring additional and more frequent re-testing.
With at least a million folks on the registry at this time, I think we’re quite a long ways away from a tipping point where people start connecting the dots. In looking at the states on drug offenses, “Every 25 seconds, someone in America is arrested for drug possession.1 The number of Americans arrested for possession has tripled since 1980, reaching 1.3 million arrests per year in 2015—six times the number of arrests for drug sales.” (from https://www.americanprogress.org/article/ending-war-drugs-numbers/) The number of folks with drug offense far outstrips anything offenders do.
Lastly, in my opinion we’re a country that has evolved into one that wants their pound of flesh for the most minor infraction. We have more people in prison in this country by number than any other country int he world. China, Russia, North Korea – none of them have as many – and China has WAY more people than we do here. Every third person in this country has some level of criminal conviction. All of what I’ve said above feeds into that number. The news, the politicians, the victims, the money.
How do we change our justice system? We don’t hide. We share our stories. We vote for politicians who aren’t afraid to stand up against fear and hate around all crimes and vote for a more balanced system. The politicians in my opinion are the key because there isn’t enough money to sue or lawyer our way out of this. It will take a concerted effort of all of us and it is going to take a LOT of time and education.
That and $5 might get you a cup a coffee at Starbucks.
I’d love to do a short story documentary of people on the registry telling their stories but I don’t see many people signing up for that.
I think the most effective way would be to have consequences drilled into young minds at an early age. Knowing that the consequences and impacts may sway behavior. Maybe helping parents identify issues, and have the resources to assist them. There are a lot of useful ways impacts can be made while awaiting changes to the registry.
I fear it won’t end.. Just the tip of iceberg of rights eroding to insure there is a 2nd class citizen. And slowly everyone’s rights are taken.
I’m afraid it’s just going to get worse. It just doesn’t seem fair. No other crime is punished like a SO. It’s a modern day witch hunt.
