Megan’s Law gave us the public Sex Offender Registry. But research shows it isn’t making kids safer. In fact: Most crimes against kids are by people NOT on the registry, and most registrants don’t re-offend.

Yes republicans are very much interested in suppressing votes that elect democrats and visa versa. Databases are a tool used by both parties to consolidate and mobilize their respective members. But are databases also used to target and discredit opponents or potential opponents and votes? YES! (See Lois Lerner)

August 10, 2018 11:55 amOn SORNA & Recidivism,
Larry is correct in that recidivism rates as a statutory concern is unconstitutional. The reasoning lies in the purpose of the Ex post prohibition itself, a regulatory restraint upon congress. The restraint had several logical justifications, most of which fall under two admirable categories: EFFICACY AND EFFICIENCY.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/unsolved-murders-declining-murder-clearance-rate-a-brewing-national-disaster/ar-BBLJMtE?li=BBnbcA1&srcref=rss&OCID=AMZN
This is a link to a piece describing how murders are not being solved, nor are the perps identified. Perhaps if states spent less on tracking sex offenders via SOR and more on solving murders the trend wouldn’t be manifesting. The people opted for imagined security instead of actual secuity. Hence they reap what they sow.
