Also, the idea is that to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Also, if they "go underground" I believe that is a violation of their parole and sufficient grounds to return them to prison. Aside from locking them up forever or just killing them I don't see a solution that doesn't have its downsides.

Or perhaps the idea is the offenders will be forced to live under bridges and beg for a living. Who comes up with these ideas? Most sex offences are done by family members.

Of course by making the registries public the offenders go underground. So back where we started.

Or perhaps the idea is the offenders will be forced to live under bridges and beg for a living.
