The judge may in fact state the officer will during sentencing, but in practice, very few do. Now I have seen a few who did indeed register but were granted relief through the courts after a couple of years. <br /><br />And 10:49, I'm going to tell you right now that you best rid yourself of your computer. What we see a lot is officers showing up at an RSO's home and conducting a search of their computer, phone, etc., etc. And if you have any porn or anything that can be construed as porn, they will arrest and prosecute you for possession of child porn. Doesn't matter if it's actual child porn or not. And unless you can prove the ages of every single person portrayed in a visual context on your computer, you will have your probation revoked and be sent to prison. We see this a lot so it's no joke. I hate to scare you but there are some counties (Montgomery is one) where there hasn't been a sex offender successfully complete a full 10-years on probation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56440377252361681512013-10-18T10:55:31.868-05:002013-10-18T10:55:31.868-05:00One thing the anti-bullying paper author did not t...One thing the anti-bullying paper author did not take into consideration is the high likelihood that the increase in student victimization could possibly be directly correlated to an increase in incident reporting by students as a result of the anti-bullying program instruction.

I have to register for life and also have deferred adjudication for eight years during which I can be sentenced to ten years in jail. There is no mention in the article if when he is released he will have to take sex offender treatment classes. Lots of police officers have gotten away with murder. This one is getting away with rape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-80088821033746533752013-10-18T07:27:19.520-05:002013-10-18T07:27:19.520-05:00How is it that a cop who commits rape only has to ...How is it that a cop who commits rape only has to be on the registry for 20 years and a person who looks at pornography online at his workplace has to be on the registry for life?

They make their money not by subscriptions/advertisements, but by charging publication fees to the authors. I work in academics, and I get mass-mailed requests all the time to serve on the editorial staff for these sorts of online journals. They are definitely not top-tier publications in general. This particular journal (Journal of Criminology) doesn't show up on the lists I've seen that track journal impact based upon citation numbers. So the studies it publishes aren't particularly valued in the field, apparently.<br /><br /><br />(See http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/32426/title/Predatory-Publishing/)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
