Sex offender disclosure scheme to go nationwide.

After a year long pilot the scheme which emerged after a long campaign by Sara Payne is to now go nation wide, and personally i think its not before time.

Under the scheme police can give parents more information about someone who has access to their children.

The biggest category of applicants in the pilot areas was fathers concerned over the new boyfriends of ex-partners. In all, police disclosed information on 32 individuals who had a record of child sex offending or posed a risk in a different way.

One parent contacted the scheme after a neighbour had begun offering sweets to their children. Police confirmed that the individual was a registered sex offender who had been banned from contacting children. He was arrested and remanded in custody for breaching the terms of his release.

So the scheme is proved to work but people still have fears it will drive sex offenders underground.

Although the scheme is a step in the right direction do you think more could be done?

but it is about time the scheme was rolled out nationwide

I can see many benefits to the scheme being sensibly used… but you only have to look at some of the replies to forum posts to begin to imagine the scary shit side of it.

seems to me that if you are convicted of any offence, then that conviction is in the public domain unless a judge says otherwise at the time of the trial and that is where it should stay.

Maybe someone should set up a private data base of all convictions and charge for searches

To be honest i can see a down side to this kind of thing, if someone feels a person is a risk to a child or anyone else for that matter then, in my opinion they should be able to find out about that person and that person alone, being given a list of sex offenders, to me, isnt a good idea, you only have to get the visual antis on the case and all hells breaks loose, there has been several cases in the past when phedophiles family members have been targeted by members of the public for crimes they had no say over, so personally for reasons such as that i do not feel a open list should be made public

I don't think the list is open,from what I read the information is only given if there is any danger to your children and theres a good reason for the police to give you the information

i think its a good idea as in givin people peace of mind before introducing a new partner to their children. in all honesty and shoot me if you want, there are a lot of mothers who trail various boyfriends into their childrens lifes without knowin a great deal about them. maybe with this it might prevent some child abuse especially when you think of cases where children have been abused by people with previous convictions. there is always goin to be someone who will abuse the system its a sad fact of life but if it prevents one case of child abuse then good xx

The problem is what defines a sex offender ??

I met & got my wife pregnant when she was 15 , thankfully that was 16 years ago . But in todays law technically i would be branded & convicted as a sex offender . I think more work maybe needed .

"The problem is what defines a sex offender ??"

Well never masturbate in a hotel room when listening to an ipod, because if you don’t hear the maid knocking and she walks in, then that’s enough to be put on the sex offenders register

Read some crackers that make you wonder, WHY?

Even seen a cracker on one of them TV cop shows, where a bloke in Newcastle who’d had a wee bit much to drink, pulled down his trousers for the camera crew while crossing at a pelican crossing, his boxer shorts remained up at all times and covered him at all times, he was arrested for public indecency and put on the sex offenders register, wtf, if he’d been walking down the street wearing shorts on a warm day nobody would have batted an eyelid.

As for the other bit, that’s just too much detail for an open forum
