Giving public information regarding convicted sex offenders is a critical step to prevent and protect themselves from potential acts. Conversations with the community should begin at a goal level, building support for incorporating the sex offenders in the community. This will aid in building trust, making progress, and triggering successful outcomes.
Media plays an important role in changing people’s perceptions. In a preventative culture, effective and democratic media form an essential part of societies transiting towards peace and democracy. The media, thus, can assist in spreading information that is true to the community. They should avoid biased information and ensure the humanization of all the victims. A peace-building media should employ the following strategies; conflict-sensitive and peace journalism, media regulation aimed at preventing incitement of violence, and peace-promoting entertainment media. Media should advocate for the human rights of sex offenders since they are committed to ethical and moral standards. The media should report on the matter and reflect on the community issue and help question the concept of living amongst sex offenders. They should avoid propaganda purposes and try to cover-ups that may curtail the sex offender’s freedom and right to information.
Community policing calls for philosophical and organizational changes in police work. The changes include reducing politics and isolation of police departments and police officers and granting more autonomy and discretion to individual police officers. It presents ethical challenges in reducing the political and social isolation may increase the risk of corruption and favoritism. Greater autonomy of police increases the risk of the officers being ineffective in the control of their departments. However, steps can be taken to avoid the above ethical challenges.
SARA model is a commonly used problem –solving methods; it includes the following;
- Scanning-it recognizes the recurring issues and their effects in a community. I would prioritize the issue and develop goals aimed at resolving the issues of a sex offense.
- Analysis- I would collect data regarding sex offenses and identify the causes and entailments of an issue. I would define the current response to the issue, the scope of the issue’s resources, and an approximate reason for its occurrence.
- Response- this step would help me use the research I got from the analysis step to brainstorm ideas for intervention, selecting the intervention options, and implement the proposed changes.
- Assessment-it is the final SARA process, which requires one to evaluate the level of success of their implemented plan and find data regarding its outcomes. At this step, I would determine whether my initial goals were met and better ensure continuous success.
