The proposition are muddying the waters. Psychological evaluations can determine accurately whether an offender is still a risk to society or not. If they are, they should not be released. If they are not, they should be freed and allowed to live a normal life. A register eliminates this distinction, and stigmatises those who have genuinely reformed. We have a penal system at the heart of which is the principle of reforming offenders, and it is ludicrous to simply ignore the possibility of change.
 
Not necessarily. I believe the sex offender registry could be counter productive. Sex offenders and criminals alike need to have something to look forward to, A goal if you will. If you label someone for the rest of there life as an indecent human,, and give them no way to redeem themselves there is no reason for them to try, or want to get better. I think some of the offenders should not be condemned and labeled .
Yes! Because we need to know where sex offenders are.
No! Because not all the offenders deserve it.
Case sensitve. See what I mean.
No, because the women who got pregnant by raping a man wouldn't be able to get the child a father.
A man was arrested for touching the top of a girls head at a grocery store. The girl tells mom who calls the police and says that her daughter was sexually touched. The little girl agreed that it was sexual. He was arrested and because he didn't have 23,000 dollars to fight the case. He had to plea and is now registered and labeled the same way a serial rapist is. No more jobs, can't coach his 4 year old sons baseball team or take him to school. The registration system needs to be improved.
 
Since unacknowledged shame is common among human beings, it is necessary to construct a more specific theory that formulates the elements that produce sexual aggression. As already indicated, one element is the inability to deal with recurring shame. To explicate that idea:

Sex offenders are hypothesized to be quick to take offense or feel insulted and humiliated.
They are unable to extricate themselves from continuous loops of shame. For offenders, these loops do not take the form of being ashamed of being ashamed (shame-shame loops), which lead to withdrawal and passivity, but shame anger, which lead to continuous humiliated fury, the emotional basis for contempt and hatred. Finally, these men have no secure social bond to which they can turn to share their pent-up feelings; they are in the zero bond condition. This combination, continuous shame-anger loops and zero bonds, will produce either madness, suicide-homicide, or sexual assault. Since all of the elements in this formulation are counter-intuitive, it will be necessary to review each in turn.
 
Sex offenders, particularly those who offend against children, feature prominently in contemporary law and order debates. Child sexual abuse is a component of the broader category of 'gendered and sexualized violence' which causes significant trauma for victims yet continues to evade conventional approaches to justice. This is evidenced not only by the low number of prosecutions, due mostly to low levels of reporting and evidential difficulties at trial, but also by the failure of the justice system to prevent re-offending, largely due to the limited availability and effectiveness of prison treatment programs.
