SEX OFFENDERS

By

Three quarters of sex offenders' requests to the police for removal from the sex offenders' register are approved, leading to calls for an urgent review. A freedom of information request to 43 police forces by The Daily Mail revealed that in a three-year period just 363 of 1,288 applications to 36 forces were refused. Just one out of 39 applications to Merseyside police was rejected. Offenders placed indefinitely on the register can apply to be removed after 15 years. 3 January 2020
