PUBLIC SAFETY, HUMAN DIGNITY, AND SUCCESSFUL REHABILITATION
AZRSOL Legislative Goals
At Arizonans for Rational Sex Offense Laws, we believe that the legislative landscape surrounding sexual offense registries must evolve with the evidence. Over the past three decades, these registries have strayed from their original intent, capturing individuals who pose no threat to public safety. According to all the data, more than 95% will never reoffend. Studies increasingly show that the expansion of these registries does not enhance safety, but rather harms communities and families. Our goal is to advocate for legislative changes that reduce unnecessary harm while still honoring victims. Join us in making a difference for a safer and more just society.
