Changes to sex offender registry unlikely to prevent crime, expert says

This week, Ottawa announced a number of proposed amendments to the country’s national sex offender registry though there are no plans to make the registry public.

Under the proposed changes serious child sex offenders and repeat sexual offenders would be registered automatically. It also adds to the list of offences to include those who post non-consensual sharing of intimate images and participate in extortion.

Currently, only Canadian police services have access to the database through provincial and territorial sex offender registry centres.

As Erica Vella reports, one expert says the proposed changes are unlikely to prevent a crime.
