Parliament's inquiry into Victoria's Sex Offender Registry
Growing calls for Victoria's Sex Offender Registry to be made public has led to an inquiry into how information on the register is managed. Who is for, is who is against, making the register public? Find out on the first episode of The Kicker: Season 2.
Content Warning: The following story contains discussions of sexual violence and child sex abuse.
For the past year, a controversial inquiry has been debated in the halls of Victorian parliament. The inquiry called for a review of Victoria’s child sex offender register, in response to increasing pressure for the register to be made public.
Over 80 submissions were made from various advocacy groups, political parties, criminologists and legal experts.
But before we look into its findings, Renee Davidson will be talking to reporter Maeve McGregor on the effectiveness of public and non-public sex offender registries.
All episodes are written, researched, recorded and produced by students of the RMIT Graduate Diploma of Journalism.
