What are you taking next semester?

Group Counseling
Community Counseling
And I'm supposed to take our Research Methods class but it filled up on the first day of WPI forms (we can't just register, we have to submit forms to the professor to get permission to register). So that one's up in the air.

I'm intrigued about your sex offenders research

My Research class is essentially the pre-thesis class that everyone has to take even if they want to do the comp exam. I think I want to do my thesis on pre-marital therapy. But I have to go into class with several ideas so if I get shot down I have some other options.

I'm doing it on a non-sexy (really bad pun) legal issue. Most felons are entitled to have their rights restored after a certain period of time, generally 10 years after probation ends. The issue with sex offenders is that since some of them are on the lifetime registry, they are essentially never off probation and can't get their rights restored. My boss at the PD's office thinks this will be an emerging area so I figure I had a good shot of getting it published if I don't crap it up.

I 100% support your un-sexy issue. It bothers me that those who are unlikely to repeat offend are lumped in with the rest AND that somehow what ALL sex offenders do, that lump group, is punished for life to an extent that can leave them homeless and in many ways more dangerous than they would have been otherwise.

A bit garbled, but in essence I like! Would you mind keeping me posted?
