Everyone should take precaution as into who they come in contact with. The sex offenders who rob people of their innocence should really rot in jail. They shouldn’t be able to see day light again, but in the end that is just my opinion. They should not just get

    Many advocates for felons regaining voting rights believe the disenfranchisement of these felons is because of their race. Hull (2006) states, “according to U.S. government statistics two-thirds of those imprisoned are members of racial and ethnic minorities” (para. 7). These statistics show that more minorities are incarcerated than Caucasian people, but that doesn’t mean that it’s because of their race. For example, statistics also show that more men are incarcerated than women, so does that mean that it’s because of their sex? Of course not, the fact of the matter is that men commit more crimes than women because men are typically more aggressive, the same reasoning applies to race.

Overall, communities have the right to be informed about the presence of sex offenders and take measures to protect themselves, such as avoiding contact with the offender or limiting their access to certain areas.
