As a citizens of this county, (city) I would do what I could to help out our local justice system by voting to pass stiffer laws here. I'm just a regular guy, I want my children safe. I'd vote for a good law to punish these guys like they need to be. They can’t hurt our children if they are locked up for a long time. And from what I have read, most reoffend.

The thing is... 30+ years ago, preying on kids was either legal (nobody cared if the 25 year old man was sleeping with the high school girl, unless she was your daughter), brushed off by the police, or "street justice" was the punishment.
People act as if certain problems are more prevalent in today's society... some, such as gang violence, perhaps. But people are NOT more perverse than they were 40 years ago... it's just that nobody was talking about it.
