From the Justice Policy Institute on the Adam Walsh Act

9-10-2008 National:

Three brilliant pieces of public policy work produced by the Justice Policy Institute.

Fact Sheets Examine Impact of Sex Offender Registries

Factsheet: Youth Who Commit Sex Offenses

Factsheet: The Negative Impact of Registries on Youth

Factsheet: What Will It Cost States to Comply with the Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act?

Note: The third Factsheet concludes "Given the enormous fiscal costs of implementing SORNA, coupled with the lack of evidence that registries and notification make communities safer, states should think carefully before committing to comply with SORNA." ..Source.. Justice Policy Institute
