Sex offenders (as I said in another post) are not like thieves--they are different, and do commit offenses again.
Also: the courts have determined that the function of community safety is not punitive and therefore not part of the sentence.
In the balance between the safety of the community versus the rights of the sex offenders, the state has decided to err on the side of the child.
Do you have any better ideas?
