1. Many of the homeless are convicted sex offenders. The irony of insuring former sex offenders are denied housing and jobs often for the rest of their lives purportedly to ‘protect’ the rest of us is that the stress of permanent instability and social ostracism is the surest way to increase the odds that he will reoffend or commit other antisocial crimes. The majority of ‘sex offenders’ are family members of their victims (as opposed to career pedophiles). A monitoring device on such an offender is more that adequate to protect the rest of the public.

   • Too true, Rexis. While sexual abuse can have totally disastrous effects on children, the reality, as you point out, is that most of it occurs in family settings and this aspect of pedophilia is rarely addressed. In addition, to wearing monitors offenders can also take testosterone lowering injections and this also seems to drastically reduce the risk of re-offending. Thanks for commenting.
