The issue of what to do with convicted sex offenders in America is not black and white. There are several shades of gray, both in terms of the types of offenders and the types of laws that deal with them.
Wrong,wrong and wrong again. The only shade of grey might be with two underaged teenagers as teens don't have fully developed brains and often lack impulse control. In the case of a child and an adult, there are no shades of grey as adults should have the maturity and brain development not to coerce and manipulate others. Dealing with these social isssues on a national level, reducing drug consumption and improving education and access to good jobs would all help in stemming these crimes. Also, early intervention in a person's life, even allowing teens to board at their school instead of living in a chaotic, unhappy home would be a far cheaper solution than incarcerating people in their later years of life. A society must decide where to spend their tax dollars where it will have the greatest effect and that is usually in the beginning of a person's life and not at the middle or end of it. Russia's problems can be solved but they need to decide on what type of country they want in their future. Changing people's mindset through quality education is acheivable but it takes will and intelligence to make it a reality.
so...if i "urinate in public" i am guilt of being a sex offender? I suppose next we will be changed with robbing a car wash if we run a red light?










Please correct this article. Richard Allen Davis, the man who murdered Polly Klaas, was NOT a "repeat sexual predator." He had NO prior convictions for sex offenses.
