More Reasons to Do Away With Registries

The Florida counterpart to Nebraskans Unafraid, the Florida Action Committee, has shared with us a doctoral dissertation that takes a close look at sex-offender registries and the people who populate them.

Here is a quote:
A number of independently conducted studies involving interviews with a cross-section of  socioeconomic groups representing college students, law enforcement personnel, probation and parole officers, undergraduate and graduate students, health care professionals and state legislators all concluded that the highly entrenched negative beliefs associated with adult male registered sex offenders are not supported by empirical research.
