Community notification has the effect of branding the offender as persona non grata. Some, including judges have argued that the law is unconstitutional because it amounts to additional punishment for sex offenders who have served their sentences and does not protect the privacy of the offender. Is community notification appropriate and more importantly do you feel it is effective in deterring future crimes? What psychological issues are brought up with this labeling for both the community and the released offender?
Keep in mind the case of Sidney Landau which is an example of Megan’s Law notification in action. Landau is a twice-convicted child molester. After being paroled in December 1996, he moved to the Orange County community of Placentia, CA (his parole required that he stay in this particular county). Police walked door-to-door distributing fliers with his photograph; schools were notified, and students were sent home with notes to their parents. Parents stood in front of Mr. Landau’s home with signs and bullhorns. Neighbors called police whenever he left his house; he was forced to move.
