Sex Offender List to be made public?

The Star newspaper today reports the Inspector-General Of Police (IGP), Tan Sri Musa Hassan as mulling if they should make public the Police's list of sex offenders.

From The Star: “We will let the public know what type of crime the convicted person had committed and to be wary of him if he is in their neighbourhood," says Tan Sri Musa. The Star reports also says that such list has been made a national registry in Unites States, Britain New Zealand and Australia.

While Nurin's killer(s) is/are still at large, perhaps the Police's move to release the names of the sex offenders would help the general public to be wary of some these individuals.

I support such a move by the Police. Do you agree?
