Thank you so much for this point. it helped me with it a lot :)

Thank you very much i agree with you on that final point you made

Thank you for your answers. I am doing an extended project in my college and my question is on this.

I wanted to know what people thought about this topic because obviously say for example what happened to Sarah Payne was an horrific thing and what Roy Whiting (the offender) did can not be excused, obviously.

However I know that some offenders do want to change for good and start a new chapter in their life. There is some debate as to whether the law "ruins" this as usually most of the time vigilante action takes place by the public who want to take justice by there own hands, which in itself shouldn't really be happening. But this then brings up the question as to whether the justice system is doing the right things in the first place if people have to take action in their own hands, but that is another question in itself as mentioned before. How can an ex-offender start a new leaf, if no one wants to trust them, which it isn't surprising as to why people wouldn't want to trust them in the first place.

However the other side to this is that the law is protecting children, which is the biggest priority.

So thank you again for your answers.
