"Should felons be required to register like sex offenders?"
You're going to leave out Politicians?
One of the most dangerous predators around and people even vote for them.
Im reminded of the circus act where the performer sticks his head into the lions mouth
Wouldn't it be helpful to be able to know how many felons live on your block? Or wouldn't that information be useful when you are looking to buy or rent a home?
I prefer the good ol' conservative method of criminal justice. Just kill 'em all, even kids who jaywalk. We gotta nip those criminals in the making before they become criminals, you know. Plus, we have to strike fear into potential criminal adults so they won't commit crimes, like how the death penalty is effective in stopping murders in their tracks
??? Have you been paying attention lately? Notice all the thug attack threads in this forum? I live in a thug-infested neighborhood.
Which would probably be less so if cops would climb out of their tanks, APC's and swat gear and go back to walking a beat and knowing the residents they're paid to serve.
It's been proven over and over that registration is nothing more than a feel good gesture, makes it look like the pols are doing something but that's all.

It might be helpful but it wouldn't be constitutional in my opinion. I feel that registries are cruel & unusual punishment and should be done away with. People who have served their time and been discharged from prison should not be subject to being outcasts for the rest of their lives.
If someone is dangerous I feel they should not be let out of prison.
If someone isn't dangerous, then the past should be the past and they shouldn't be blacklisted forever.

And what do you say then they suffer an episode of recidivism and bash/kill more people?
to many crimes are felonies today and those charged with them are ruined for life weather convicted or not and often return to crime only to survive being unable to find employment elsewhere. We have made it a life sentence already why percecute them even more,it is unhealthy and wrong.

"Oh well, I guess I was wrong...my bad."
We can "what if" all day long with people. If you have doubts then they should still be locked up.
