In Australia,
Paedophiles who are released into the community MUST knock on EVERY door on the street and say "Hi, I'm a convicted Paedophile and I am moving into your street. I will be living at number 7. If you have an issue with that, please call this number." That way EVERYONE in the steet knows who he is and where he lives so that they can keep their children away from him.
At least, and I am being conservative here, 95% of Paedophiles re-offend. They do what they do because it is their sexuality. What would all the people on these boards do if heterosexuality, or even homosexuality, were suddenly deemed "evil?" Nothing is going to change the fact that I am attracted to adult males, nor will it for anyone else here whether they are attracted to adult males or females. That is who we are. As far as paedophiles go, there are those who know that acting on their desires is "illegal" and try their best not to do it. I commend them. Those that have offended, will most likely do it again, having learnt from prison only one thing - "I don't want to get caught again, so I will be VERY careful this time."
This person probably will offend again and may even escalate to murder to avoid re-capture. It is scary, it is abominable, but hey, there isn't much we can do about it.
