It's not a good precaution; if it was, we would apply it more broadly than just to sexual offenses. Sexual abuse, especially with regards to children, is our generation's red scare, and that is the one and only reason why the registry exists.
- sickbeard 10y agoIt does apply broadly. There are certain professions where you can't work if you have a certain kind of criminal record. this isn't new news
- DanBC 10y ago> is our generation's red scare The widespread abuse of children actually happens though. Sexual offender registers aim to prevent the loophole widely used by abusers of getting a new job in a different town. (In the case of priests and nuns that move was arranged by their employer). They also stop some familial abuse. Someone who sexually abused their nieces/nephews would not be able to adopt and would be under greater scrutiny from child protective social services when they move to a new area.
