lowleveldata ( @lowleveldata@programming.dev ) 15•11 months agoIt brings questions like how do you clear your name if you’re once a sex offender? Why do we release those people back to the wild if we do not believe that they can change?
HeartyBeast ( @HeartyBeast@kbin.social ) 16•11 months agoIn the UK the sex offenders register is used to prevent such people working with particularly vulnerable groups. Otherwise, they are ‘back in the wild’ once they have done their sentence
essell ( @essellburns@beehaw.org ) 14•11 months agoIt has some unintended and bizarre implications.
Take the scenario of some guy who goes out dancing, having a great time with their preferred sexual partner on the dance floor. On the way home stops in the park for a wank because they’re single, young, drunk, horny and stupid.
They get caught, they’re on the sex offenders register and they’re banned from working with children or vulnerable people. And yet they’re not more of a threat than the average person, certainly not a paedophile.
(If that looks suspiciously specific, it’s not my story 😁)
NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) 12•11 months agoWho can’t make it home before having a wank? That seems like a whole different physiological issue.
essell ( @essellburns@beehaw.org ) 5•11 months agoIt was a hypothetical example for purposes of illustration, not a suggestion for the weekend
Skyline969 ( @Skyline969@lemmy.ca ) English4•11 months agoDoesn’t even need to be a wank. Just having a pee out in the open at a park is enough to get you on that registry.

CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•11 months agoI mean, they could still work at non-childcare jobs, or at least can here in Canada.
In general it’s a good point, though. Westerners in particular seem to want their cake and to eat it too. Execution and indefinite incarceration are both inhumane, but they also don’t want a guy who’s openly a rapist anywhere near them in any context. Locally, reformable people are most of the prison population, but I do wonder what I’d do in the shoes of somewhere like El Salvador.

HellAwaits ( @HellAwaits@lemm.ee ) English8•11 months agoThe article makes it sound like they’re trying to better enforce the laws that already exist, which is great. The headline is misleading AF.
drdiddlybadger ( @drdiddlybadger@pawb.social ) 5•11 months agoWow, I wasn’t aware they weren’t already doing that. Good for them.
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•11 months agoI’m surprised but not surprised that wasn’t already law there.
Yeah, negl, it’s kind of infuriating to see people worried about the poor people who just made a mistake and somehow end up on a sex offender registry, and not the fact that the reason this is happening is because children were SA’d by people who had been able to sign up with a baby sitting service.
