Registry Matters
Trying to navigate the complicated world of sex offender laws and how they affect a person forced to register?
Each week Andy and Larry discuss life on the sex offender registry and how registry laws affect those on “the list.” Our goal is to help listeners navigate the complexity of the onerous “civil, regulatory schemes” that are clearly punitive in nature.
We discuss current legal challenges to sex offender registries and answer questions from PFRs and listeners. Special guests share their insight and experiences.
