Q With increased concern over child sexual predators many states are legislating new and tougher laws. Ohio, for example, is considering a bill that would require "all habitual and child-oriented sex offenders" to display fluorescent green license plates (Associated Press 2007c, p.1). Although some states require a special designation on driver's licenses, no state requires special license plates for sex offenders. From a symbolic interactionist perspective what are some of the pros and cons of such a proposal?

Child sexual abuse is a serious offence in the United States as well as the entire world. Such sexual abuse has negative impact on the children and their development and it becomes difficult for them to survive in the existing environment. Their mental and physical health is affected badly. This increase in child sexual abuse led to the increase in demand for the legislation of new and stricter laws. Ohio, for example, is considering a bill that would require "all habitual and child-oriented sex offenders" to display fluorescent green license plates (Associated Press 2007c, p.1). Although some states require a special designation on driver's licenses, no state requires special license plates for sex offenders.
