Repeat-offenders and Sex Offenders

Parental Quandary: The Sex Offender Next Door

It is no secret that repeat-offenders that are granted probation are continually committing crimes that are as or more severe that their first offense. If a mother is concerned for her children's safety if she is living next-door to a sex offender--she has every right to feel apprehensive and uneasy. The problem with the increasing trend rates from repeat-offenders is the fact that these numbers could be lower if there was not parole system fall out. The federal government should require parole officers’ duties and responsibilities to be more extensive in order to protect the general public against offenses committed by released convicts in the United States.
