abstract="The present study utilized in-depth qualitative interviews with 38 people who provided formal social support to registered sex offenders to explore their attitudes toward sex offender registration and notification (SORN). <br><br>FINDINGS revealed that there were three primary areas of perceptions that these support partners had concerning SORN laws. These themes - incapable of adequately raising public awareness, unable to impact sex offender recidivism, and inappropriate for most sex offenders - suggested that such policies were ineffective strategies for sex offender management. Limitations, directions for future research, and corresponding policy implications are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
