Your poll is flawed.
I don't see where an 18-year old having consensual sex with a 16-year old and then her parents press for statutory rape should be placed on a sex-offender registry.
And, contrary to what you claim, they do make society safer.
It's called "awareness."
When someone is aware a sex offender lives in their neighborhood, or on their street, they pay attention.
Not only do they pay attention to their own children, they pay attention to other children to protect them, too.
Also, technology is on the way.
They'll be equipped with ankle bracelets to monitor their every move.
Ah, but are not ankle bracelets used now? Yes, but they not monitored in real-time. They're only monitored after-the-fact. For example, two sex offenders were raping, torturing and murdering women and they both had ankle bracelets, but they weren't monitored in real-time. It was only later when law enforcement down-loaded the GPS data from a computer that they saw both men were always together and always at the same location where a woman was last seen.
That, of course, costs money, money that cannot be spent on education and social programs and defense.
That's why people convicted of a 2nd felony offense should be stripped of citizenship and deported.
The money saved from not wasting it on their incarceration can be used to monitor sex offenders.
