In Western European societies: YES! Something like a public register of sex offenders is UNTHINKABLE in Germany. You get a sentence for your assault, but public shaming is not part of the punishment. That's not inherently worse or better then the American approach, it's just what most people here consider right and just. We consider people who break the law as human beings and citizens, and we strive to make them functioning members of the society.
