Washington state moves to remove community notification, restrictions for sex offenders

what could possibly go wrong
Washington state moves to remove community notification, restrictions for sex offenders
"...(if) they can start to roll it back here, they can start to roll it back everywhere else."
The Post Millennial has learned that Washington’s Sex Offender Policy Board is working with the state’s Sentencing Guideline Commission in an attempt to roll back restrictions and sentence guidelines for sex offenders, claiming “these laws actually undermine public safety, the exact opposite of what lawmakers and the public so confidently assume they accomplish.”
This is on the heels of community blowback from Washington Democrats including Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, releasing level 3 sex offenders, those deemed the “worst of the worst” and most likely to re-offend from high-security facilities to halfway houses in unsuspecting neighborhoods.

It is amazing how far we have slipped as a nation.

They release creatures and want our guns.
I guess it gets a little easier to take a leak behind a tree next to a freeway without getting labeled.

Why would you do this if you weren’t intentionally trying to destroy this nation?

They are helping out their constituents.
L3 sex offenders are likely heavy Dem voters, if not Dem politicians or major donors.

Sexual attraction is a hell of thing. I seriously doubt these offenders are reformed. Unless they have some divine intervention, that attraction will always be there and most will give in to the desire at some point and hurt another victim.

Washington’s Sex Offender Policy Board is working with the state’s Sentencing Guideline Commission in an attempt to roll back restrictions and sentence guidelines for sex offenders, claiming “these laws actually undermine public safety, the exact opposite of what lawmakers and the public so confidently assume they accomplish.”
Sex Offender Registries basically did not exist 30 years ago. We now have three decades of data to evaluate whether they are effective or instead counterproductive (as Washington seems to think).
If you see a Registry in a vacuum as simply additional punishment, that is not entirely unreasonable. But if your goal is to see less sexual assault, is it not reasonable to conduct that evaluation and to act accordingly -- whether by increasing or scaling-back registries, depending upon what is dictated by the data?

You seem to have a real interest in this subject.

Do you see the matter otherwise?

No it's just that some people see these posts and have a Pavlovian response in their need to take the wrong side in these matters and argue on and on, don't you agree?

The whole concept was laughable from its inception. These people should obviously not be on the streets at all. They admit that by even having the registry.
They don't make murderers enter a registry.
Sex offenders have the highest recidivism rate of any crime (and I'm not talking about the drunk who gets caught taking a piss in public, or the dude with a 16-year-old girlfriend)
There are certain offenders that should never walk the earth as a free men. Yet, they slap them in a register and set them out into the world.
Yes, get rid of the registry, but leave them in prison for life.

He also claims that he had a great response to Covid. Nursing homes in his state beg the differ.

It all comes back to their wanting to have sex with kids.
They're openly telling us who they are. We must believe them.

Agreed!
There are actually some sick, deranged individuals who have such a compulsion to defend grooming, pedophilia and sexual deviancy that they would go so far as to create an alter on a message board to do that very thing!
It's a mental illness I would assume.

He probably includes a bunch of bullshite "date rapes" and public urination cases in his stats.
Pure sexual deviants can't stop, even with the threat of castration.

When a state is constrained by a ruling like Ewing, it must look elsewhere to try and prevent recidivism. Are Registries the answer or permanent and strict post-release supervision or group homes or ankle monitors or something else? I don't know. Maybe the 50 Laboratories will eventually be able to answer the question for us.
