Either we have improved detection rates or....
Just reading this article about the increase in Sex Offenders in NI. Read here.It seems they now have 900. Interestingly enough though it was only 600 prior to June. So there has been 300 since June. I wonder how many there are in the rest of the UK?
Now I don't know of any great perv hunting initiative nor that there has been so many people raped or molested or whatever over this last year compared with all the previous years totaled together. Maybe it is something I missed.
Or, and call me cynical, it could be to do with the fact that so many people are now put on this register for things that are not really sex crimes and were standard practice years ago when we were allowed to think for ourselves. Photographing your kid in the bath or whatever. To many people just biting the bullet and taking a caution or whatever to get it over with. Little realising the impact.
Soon the sex register will be so diluted with such people that it will be ineffective. We will then get calls for a Serious Sex Offenders Register. A new team, super duper DB and, probably, some brand new legislation.
Another step along the path of criminalising everyone in our quest for a perfect society.
