We have the sex offender registry, but not the violent offender registry in Kentucky. Not to my knowledge anyway.

I personally am not in favor of registry's, because it clumps all of the particular crimes in one category.

For an example the Sex Offender Registry, most, however, not all people think of it as people who are rapists. Wrong! People are on there who had consensual sex with an 16yr old and just because they were older they were charged having sex with a minor which equates to sex offender status.

I am not saying the Sex Offender Registry is a bad thing, just that there are alot of people on there who in my opinion shouldn't be. It creates a wrong impression. I also think it causes alot of mass hysteria when if there wasn't one, the hysteria wouldn't be as much.

But those are just my own thoughts.

I feel the same way! registry's are not all bad, and not all good.

well i sure never knew this and my man has several charges unfortunitely :( but i love him but if anyone needs help here please let me know via PM :) ill be glad to help

Indiana also has a registy for violent offenders:http://www.indianasheriffs.org/default.asp

oklahoma as of 6/05: http://www.doc.state.ok.us/offtech/op020307.htm
you will have to scroll down a lil ways

I think it's a ridiculous idea and a massive, expensive, needless roadblock for the offender....If I understand this correctly, the guy who gets into a bar fight at 22 will still be branded after he's done growing up? All these registeries really do is make it impossible to put ones past behind and move on.... and while there is stong evidence that certain types of sexual offenders are extremely likely to re-offend, I think it's outrageous to clump all offenders with a particular type of charge into one basket... the guy who gets into a bar fight is not the probable menace to society that, say, a repeat mugger or armed robber is (Sorry, just pointing out that there are varying levels, don't mean to sound judgemental, EVERY case IS different) just as the poor schmuck who lost his head over a bit of well built jail bait is not the same as a confirmed pedophile or child pornographer....not fair to lump all together.

I happened to look this link up and what I do appreciate about this particular one is at the beginning, it describes which offenses falls under the category's as far as the Sex Offenders.

Personally, I do not like the idea of registrys. There are too many loopholes in them. However, when it comes to Sex Offender Registrys, I am happy at least that Indiana does not choose to label them all the same. In my opinion this is a good thing. I certainly wish all states were like this. It would be educating for the public to say the least and also cause less drama with them.

Just my thoughts and opinions.

i don't know how long it will be (if ever) that VO registries will be everywhere. but if they do...i will be sure to check on them.

Mrs. Chris .. i think they just want another way to hinder any offender process of getting back to some sort of normalacy.. Which is ridiculous..

I don't know if the state my fiancé is in has one, but I think in all states a violent offender is required to give a DNA sample before they are released...

All 50 States now require some or all of their convicted offenders to provide DNA samples to the State. In 1994, Congress enacted legislation that gave the FBI the authority to create a national database of these DNA samples. The Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS as it is known, has grown dramatically, to the point that today there are almost 400,000 samples on file of known State offenders. But there are also over 350,000 more samples that have been collected but have yet to be entered into this system by the States. And because of a shortcoming in the 1994 Federal law, this system does not include samples from persons who have been convicted of Federal crimes, crimes in the District of Columbia, or crimes while serving in the military. This hole in the law must be filled

I knew I knew what I was talking about!

Just think how many people could be exonerated based on DNA testing of all offenders....

Sadly, I don't think as many as we'd like to believe.

I know here in kansas he has to register with jobs as a violent offender but im not sure theres an online list.

So along with letting them know he is a felony he has to tell them he is a violent offender?

Yes, he does. Its sad and it will hinder him from getting many jobs. Unfortunately many don't think of these consequences when they are committing thier crime. Also its unfortunate that a violent offender will pay for the rest of thier life for thier crime.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. LOL I forget all the posts I have responded too.

They dont have this in NY for VO....thank goodness.

Look how many cases have been re-opened because of those type of mistakes,carelessness,or just plain over-worked tecs!! Not to mention how many people were convicted before all the new testing. Some that had their convictions overturned,and some that were proven innocent are still listed on these registries.Or if they're not listed on the registry you do a backround check it still comes up on their record. If they've been proven innocent why to they have to pay to get that damaging information off their record????

I do understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. In this situation we can only hope that the those ppl who are in charge of corrections handle their biz and do the work they are being paid for.

It does/will hinder many when it comes to finding jobs but as said before its basically like the SO registry. It causes mass hysteria because the only thing ppl who aware of violent registeries are seeing is the word VIOLENT!! Does matter if he violently slapped a tree wtih a broom.. Many dont read on to see what was facts of the crime or what was the actual crime.. they see violent or sex offender and they let their minds run with them.. In my opinion many ppl's imagination should be banned cause it does nothing for them but help them create panic in others .

I do wish they would do away with the registry in the states that do have them..

The only registry in VA that I know of is for sex offenders and in the list it specifies if someone was a violent sex offender or not.

Regardless of what the crime was .. there is a thin line between violent and non violent crimes.. if there is any inclination that the person was scared or thougth they would be harmed even if the person did what they did around them .. they can still be considered violent .. my husband was just an accesory but considered violent only after he received the other guy's charges..

My son was arrested in CA three years ago for DWI, the charges were put on a step docket because the police did not want to admit they were wrong when the blood test came back negative. So he gets arrested last year for DWI and this time he was guilty. But, CA says since he was arrested before and even though the blood test was neg. it was still considered a 2nd offense!! Can you believe that s$%&^ Anyway he had to hire a $2,000.00 attorney so he could get the first charge dropped. Of course they still nailed him, he got a $1,000.00 fine, lost his license for 6 months and had to go to driving school, which he had to pay for. And when he was in jail the officer in booking kept quizing him because he thought his tattoos were prison tattoos, even though they looked in the system and it showed he had never been in prison. Infact had only been arrested once and that was 10 years ago. sorry to rant, but it just ticks me off when he punished by the police because of his appearance.

:angry: :angry: :angry: This is exactly what I was referring to earlier! They don't fix their mistakes so you end up paying $$$ to take care of it! Which tick's me off even more if You screw up why do I have to pay for your mistake???The same with if I'm arrested and charged with a crime,go to trial,be found not guilty,why isn't it taken off my record??? Why does a person have to pay to have it taken off? Okay I'll get off the soapbox now!!

I'm glad that hubby won't have to register here in Ny. and for the DNA here in NY its $50.00 for the sample and & $50.00 for the collection. It sucks, i hate it so much. I can have that paid in 2 weeks. i'm just afraid on how much his restioution is going to cost us.

I'm against a registry for anyone, regardless of crime, and have always felt that way. I have always felt that some people do deserve prison, or have to go to prison because they are so dangerous that they have to be removed from society. But once the person has served their time, that should be it. IF they commit another crime, send them back, but once released, they should be treated like every other citizen. That's how I see it.

I agree with you, june5! Once they have paid their debt to society they should have a clean slate and not be forced to endure more punishment.

I think that is not right cause violent crimes can be a range of things , as well as sex offense but to lump everyone into one category is not right at all.
