The Problem Of Sexual Offenders Using U.S. Passports
A passport is a very important part of identification and is necessary if a person is going to want to travel out of the country. The question has recently been raised, “Is it a good idea for convicted criminals to be able to obtain passports, especially sex offenders?” A lot of thought needs to go into this question. A passport is a very valuable document and provides the privilege to leave and return to the United States. In 2008, sixteen million passports were issued and 4,500 of that number were issued to sex offenders.
