Biden judge nominee: “Children are not safer because registered sex offenders are prohibited from residing near schools, parks, day care centers"

[basquebromance]

That’s not all. Biden nominee Marian Gaston:

"The conclusions and recommendations are that - difficult as it might be - laws that regulate where sex offenders may not live should be repealed or substantially modified in the interest of public safety."

Horrible. Horrific. Ted Cruz erupted as he read the quote

One little girl they found abandoned at the border had 67 different DNA in her from being raped. Those 67 son of a bitches are in our country now instead of their own. Our children aren't safe ANYWHERE anymore...

So having them live in camps in the woods means they can't hurt children? Nonsense, they can and they probably do.

Do we really have to make it easy for them?

Do we really have to make it easy for them?

Is it making "it easy for them"?
This is just simple minded solutions for complex problems. The solution doesn't seem designed to stop the sex offenders, it seems designed to make simple minded people feel good about themselves.

What other countries have such ridiculous laws that force these people to live in tents? None in Europe, that I know of, and are they seeing higher numbers of sex offenses?

Helping to rehabilitate sex offenders is controversial – but it can prevent more abuse

What research shows does and doesn’t work to prevent people convicted of sexual offences from reoffending.

theconversation.com

Here's a way of actually dealing with the problem.

"The aim is to keep communities safer and reduce reoffending through reintegration "

"There are numerous examples of unproven methods used in the rehabilitation of those with sexual convictions. Such practices tend to be based on “intuitive beliefs” such as it “feels right”, but there is little evidence they reduce reoffending."

"While the public are naturally concerned that once somebody is a sex offender they will always be a sex offender, this is not always the case."

"While it may seem publicly appealing to put convicted sex offenders in prison for long periods and to make that experience hostile, this doesn’t work to reduce risk of reoffending and may instead increase their risk by increasing social isolation."

"Some of the key factors that lead people to reoffend are social and emotional isolation, emotional immaturity, and general problems relating to others."

See the last one? Those who have "emotional isolation" are more likely to reoffend. Sending them off to tents might be more likely to see them reoffending, not less likely.

"This is why initiatives such as Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) have been shown to work. In these interventions, between three and five trained volunteers provide social, emotional and practical support for high-risk sexual offenders. In one evaluation in Minnesota, those taking part in a CoSA programme had their risk of rearrest for a sexual offence reduced by 88%."

"But funding is also needed for programmes and interventions that can prevent future victims. "

And here's the biggest problem, and why the right wing tends to just want to stick them outside of town in tented communities rather than actually DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. It costs MONEY.

Sex offenders can never be rehabilitated. Not ever. It's impossible.

Well, when it comes down to it, if Democrats don't want anyone locked up all of these people have to live somewhere. I don't know if you have ever looked but when you look at a map of registered sex offenders in basically any area, they live all over the damn place. It won't be long before we'll have to let them live close to schools. Anyway, it makes it a lot easier for schools to groom children. And, they don't even have to have Drag Queen story time for the children anymore. They can just let the local registered sex offenders come in to read books to the kids.
