noreply@blogger.com (eAdvocate: A Voice) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:14:00 +0000

This research for the most part dispels all arguments, known today, that claim, paying the 10% Bryne Grant penalty is cheaper than all the implementation costs that a state would incur to implement SORNA. It appears, all arguments known today, have not considered sections Congress wrote into SORNA as explained below. UPDATE: Reader mentions the costs of litigation. Sorry, those are not implmentation costs, they would be ongoing costs (see paragraph near end of this post).

7-22-2007 National: In the early 1980s, a therapist named Robert Longo was treating adolescent boys who had committed sex offenses. Their offenses ranged from fondling girls a few years younger than they were to outright rape of young children. As part of their treatment, the boys had to keep journals — which Longo read — in which they detailed their sexual fantasies and logged how frequently they masturbated to those fantasies. They created “relapse-prevention plans,” based on the idea that sex-offending is like an addiction and that teenagers need to be watchful of any “triggers”...
