The UK: Domestic abusers, stalkers and sex offenders to be registered on super-database

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Domestic abusers, stalkers and sex offenders will be registered on a super-database under plans being drawn up by the Government.

Ministers are looking to set up a single database that would enable police and probation services to track offenders guilty of violence against women more effectively following the outcry after the death of Sarah Everard.

Anyone on the register would be required to tell police of any change of address or name - a tactic commonly used by sex offenders, or the start of any new relationship.

Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, and Robert Buckland, the Justice Secretary, are minded to create a single database after a defeat last week in the House of Lords on an amendment to the domestic abuse bill that would require them to set up a register for stalkers.

I'm sure you'd have privacy advocates complaining if this was done here.

1. If convicted, yes I agree.

There should also be a mechanism for removal if falsely convicted.
