Sex Offender Registry
Canada has a instituted a sex offenders registry, like in United States of America, called Sex Offender Information Registration Act, in 2004. An act that requires sex offenders to register information for the reason being, that it supports the police in preventing and investigating sexual offences (Antonacci, 2013, pg. 121).

Cause more chance of people that are innocent and not notified to become victims.
Overall as a citizen of my community I believe that one should have the right to know if a sex offender lives near them for the reasons I have stated above for the reason also being that I believe the safety of citizens outweighs the right of sex offenders, considering that a sex offender once had the choice of committing their actions before he they did,
