I saw on the news tonight that another sex offender was taken into custody and charge with the death of another young girl tonight in Florida.
It just so happened that these 2 were in the state of Florida, but my question is should there be tougher laws?
They are not only sex offenders at this point both young girls were killed.
Why are they let out of jail?
How sad is that?

Here's a something to consider. What happens when the punishment for sexual assault is about the same as the punishment for murder? The answer is: instead of someone being raped, you get someone who is raped and then killed.

It is important to remember that there are far more people committing crimes (sexual assaults or otherwise) who have never been caught than there are those who have been caught and are repeat offenders. Yet, crime statistics do show a disturbing trend of recitivism amongst ex-convicts.

The key here is that for some crimes longer incarceration times simply don't result in the reduction of those crimes. For sexual predators, the one thing which I believe can work is "shame": registries and what not. Public shaming only works of course when the crime is relatively rare. If it's too frequent, we humans become inured.

Serial rapists or serial sex offenders are incurable- the death penalty for "three strikes and your out" would be the most effective.

The biggest problem we have today in sex offenses is our legal and personal definitions.

For instance- if an 19 year old boy sleeps with a 17 year old girl in some states, and though the girl is willing, he goes to jail for statutory rape.

He is in the same class as the pedophile or serial violent rapist.

I think we should seperate the violent and pedophilic rapist from the rest of the "lessor" charges- after doing that, start documenting thier moves after jail, including thier DNA. Registry with the cops nationwide. for life.
Then, harsh senteces for the re-offender, 15 years minimum. Third, dead. Period.
