Keep offenders on registry, say most Utahns

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says a parent's right to know about convicted sex offenders living in their community outweighs an offender's ability to have themselves removed from the list after serving their debt to society.
According to a new Deseret News/KSL Dan Jones poll, while 69 percent of Utah residents polled said some sex offenders are a greater threat to the community than others, 54 percent said convicted sex offenders definitely should not have a right to a court hearing to determine if they are a danger to the community and thus have their names taken off the public list.
Shurtleff said he's not surprised by the poll numbers.
"It's nice to have some validation," Shurtleff said. "You had your hearing when you were convicted of the crime. When you balance the potential of some future harm to the community against a parent's right to know, the courts have always sided with the parent's right to know."
