It's made up of people like you and me, trying to make society operate and people to generally get along with eachother. If I saw that we as a society are moving towards rehabilitation, and better social services for criminals, then yes. I would trust them. Just like I trust them with roads, with hospitals, with medicine, with food.

> I trust the state to test the medicine How does the process of testing medicine compare to that of sex offenders? I don't think the two are at all comparable. > It's made up of people like you and me I'm not qualified to test medicine, or run medical trials, so I hope whoever does it on behalf of the government is not like me. > I trust them with roads, with hospitals, with medicine, with food All of which have proven physical-science process to verify them. I don't trust criminology/Phycology as a science capable of making the calls you are implying.
