Due in class on: November 11th Each state, as well as the federal government, require that all convicted sex offenders register their address with the government. Beyond that, registries include a picture of the offender, the crime committed, aliases, and also require that the offender remain on the registry for their lifetime. Critics argue that sex offenders are punished ex post facto and that some offenses (i.e., urinating in public, consensual sex underage) pose no significant risk to society. Proponents argue otherwise and feel all sex offenders threaten the safety of society and therefore society has a right to be informed. Your assignment: 1.
