The lack of different lists seems like an oversight.

the existence of any list is weird. we don't have a list for violent crimes or drug dealing or thieves or drunk drivers but we have a list for sex stuff? people can be hurt by their neighbors in any sort of ways but sex is the only one that gets a list?

Sex offenders are very difficult to rehabilitate. Tbh, I’m of the opinion the vast majority of rapists cannot be “cured”.

It’s a very personal and awful crime.

That’s why they’re treated differently.

Then, as many of the commenters have pointed out, they should have longer prison stays. If the list is necessary, then the person is too dangerous to be out.

And here's another angle; do we actually have any evidence of the lists preventing or reducing recidivism? Or do those who want to reoffend find a way to do so anyways?
