“Sex offender laws ‘that trigger registration requirements for children began proliferating in the United States during the late 1980s and early 1990s. They subject youth offenders to registration for crimes ranging from public nudity and touching another child’s genitalia over clothing to very serious violent crimes like rape.’ Registries can also include ‘people who have committed offenses like public urination, indecent exposure (such as streaking across a college campus), and other more relatively innocuous offenses.’ The report calls current registry laws ‘an overbroad policy of questionable effectiveness’ that leaves the public often unable to discern who on a registry is actually dangerous.”
