Even though some people don't agree completely with Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, I think we can all agree with one thing he has to say: The sex-offender registry should remain open to the public. People have a right to know if offenders are living in their neighborhood. This registry has been invaluable to the public. It would be a major injustice if it is taken away. The fact parents would not know whether sex offenders live in their community is a crime itself.
