Emphasizing that there is no disgrace in surviving sexual violence is critical when
dealing with sexual-related misconduct. The legal system harbors numerous injury-related rules
and regulations to protect individuals from harm. These laws are designed to remedy injury or
violence, including sexual assault. The sex offender registry collects and maintains information
on people previously convicted of sexual assault. While the sex offender registry's goal is to
promote public safety by providing data concerning convicted sexual offenders, it equally
harbors significant downsides, including its capacity to give a false sense of security since many
sex crimes are committed by individuals outside its scope.
The effectiveness of the sex offender registry in preventing sexual-related offenses has
been increasingly questionable. Navarro et al. (2022) affirm that the capacity of the sex offenders
registry to lower recidivism rates and prevent new sex crimes has primarily been in doubt due to
the reduced reliance on evidence-based approaches that prioritize risk assessments and effective
interventions. The authors' assertions are backed by Godsoe (2019), who notes that the registry
provides a false sense of security to society as it is not effective in preventing sexual offenses or
promoting rehabilitation. Specifically, Godsoe (2019) asserts that individuals in the registry often
face significant challenges when trying to reintegrate into society, find housing, and secure
employment. These challenges hinder their rehabilitation efforts. Sutmuller et al. (2020) note that
these individuals often endure harsh castration laws, sex offender driving license notation
requirements, and lifetime supervision – making them less likely to offend. However, by their
names being contained in the sex offender registry, they are easily stigmatized while the real
perpetrators continue with their sexual assaults.
