Registration and Community Notification of People Convicted of Sex Crimes: What Do Those Who Have Been Victimized Think?
This webinar explores victim/survivor perspectives on Sex Offender Registration and Notification (SORN) policies. Drawing on recent Australian research, Dr. Kelly Richards examines the complex concerns and priorities raised by victim/survivors, including the risks of vigilantism, unnecessary fear, false reassurance, and the need for meaningful community safety. The webinar considers the implications of these findings for public policy and community responses to sexual abuse.
