ATSA's 2020 report critically examines U.S. sex offender registration and notification laws. It challenges their effectiveness in reducing sexual crime recidivism, highlighting that most sexual offenses are committed by first-time offenders, not registrants. The report proposes evidence-based reforms, emphasizing the need for individualized risk assessments and abandoning one-size-fits-all approaches. ATSA argues for more targeted policies, focusing on high-risk offenders and promoting rehabilitative efforts, rather than broad, punitive measures that fail to differentiate between offenders' risk levels or aid in their reintegration.
