"Although the sex offender niche is by far the most partisan and contentious in forensic psychology, one thing that just about all informed professionals agree about is that sex offender registration laws do more harm than good.

Franklin wrote the above in reference to a scholarly paper called The Invisible Man: How the Sex Offender Registry Results in Social Death, which sounds like a very worthwhile read. If anyone gets a copy of this journal article, I'd be interested in reading it, thanks. The article from which the above quote was taken is this one.
