Supreme Court may reexamine post conviction sex offender rules
The Supreme Court could hear Karstens v. Piper and Snyder v. Doe to reassess civil commitment of sex offenders and sex offender registries. Court rulings have upheld detention as treatment, yet critics argue the MSOP and registries are punitive and undermine due process and civil liberty protections.
