I found this quote in particular to be troubling for the _opposite_ reason. That is, in the case of a sex offender who is a pederast, hanging out with a child can be (and for good reason) a parole offense. The author buries this in his argument in order to hide the information from the audience.
I had not actually considered that. I would then look at reforms of the parole system. In the same way there is murder and manslaughter, there is hanging round school gates and drinking in a bar with other felons.
But yes, good point. Inwonder how the parole violations are recorded?
