Classifying People as Dangerous

I've become aware of State's having the online registries where they "evaluate" an ex offender for dangerousness. What this is, is a hearing type process where one goes before a board of people--typically former prosecutors--to be judged as a low, medium, of high risk to re-offend.

Unfortunately, I discovered that most of the people sitting on these various boards do NOT have any credentials in psychology or psychiatry, and aren't qualified to make reliable determinations as to one's dangerousness.

In my State, many men that committed vicious/violent sexual attacks on women and children--causing serious physical harm--were classified as level 2 offenders, while other non-violent offenders were classified as level 3. This doesn't make sense to me at all.

I believe that these laws are in need of some serious reform, and our state and federal representatives need to put these judgments in the hands of professionals with a great deal of experience in the field, rather than appointing legal or political hacks to make these judgments.

Our representatives need to be responsible and held accountable when laws like these cause a great deal of harm to a class of American citizens, regardless of whether or not the members of that class are acceptable to others. They are still human beings, and are still Americans. Americans have rights!

I live in America. But it appears that corrupt politics and media incentives have turned this Country into purgatory for over 2 million American families.
