4. Convicted felons shouldn't have the same rights as citizens with clean records. If they have drivers licenses and can travel across borders where they please, it will be hard to keep track of them. You need to keep track of Felons because they night commit the crime again. Neighbors should have the right to be notified when one lives near them so they are aware and public safety comes first. The neighbors were all aware that Eric was moving in near them. Individual rights come after public safety especially when peoples lives may be in serious danger.

24. I think convicted felons should get some of the same rights as citizens depending on what they did.They should be able to travel across state/country.They're license should not be taken away.They should still be all treated the same,and be able to have jobs.I think both individual rights and public safety are important.

11.Yes released convicts should be given the same rights as a person who isn't a felon. Yes some of these felons should be able to get a drivers license because they need to go to places and they need food etc. Yes they should also be able to get any jobs because they need a job to support their family or even themselves. No they should not be allowed to travel across the state or to a different country. Yes they should be able to vote like any other citizen! Yes they should be allowed to live anywhere.

I think criminals are citizens because my Ben is a citizen, but also a criminal. He should be able to live the normal life like everyone else and his life shouldn't be ruined due to one mistake. There's a few criminal offenses I think should make a criminal not a citizen. Rape and murder. But fingers should not count. That is why I think criminals should be citizens.

5. I think that convicted felons should not be given the same rights. The reason is that they already had a chance but messed it up. I do believe that they should be able to get a license, but they cannot leave the country. I also think they should be able to vote because they are still citizen's.Maybe they shouldn't have just any job but they should be able to work most places. I don't think they should be able to live by schools because of there background.Yes there neighbors should be notified to let them know what he did encase they have children. I think public safety is more important.

I think that released convicted felons should be given the same rights as citizens for the most part.They should be able to get a license and should be able to have certain jobs.Depending on there crime they should be able to get jobs,and live where ever they want.But since there a felon they should tell their neighbors and that could make the public more safe.Based on the crime they should have certain rules and limits ti released felons.

I think convicted felons should and shouldn't get the same rights as people with a clean record. It all depends on the specific crime. It can't just be answered as a yes or no question, because all crimes are different and deserve a different punishment. They should be able to get their licenses because it's a free country. Like i said before it all depends on that persons crime to determine whether they should be able to go across state borders. If they can vote depends on the crime committed. People should be notified were she/he lives because that's embarrassing, UNLESS they are a predictor!!!!! :)

10. I think that convicted felons should have the same rights as citizens depending on the crime they convicted. If they went to jail and did their time for whatever they did they should be treated like anybody else. People make mistakes and should be given another chance. If they are sex offenders or pedophiles then the neighbors should be notified but other than that it shouldn't be any of their business. All and all I do think public safety is more important than individual rights in some ways but everyone deserves a chance to live a normal life.

I agree there should be limits to what they can and can't do.

#1 I think some teens should be sentenced as adult if the crime is big like in Eric's case.I think if the crime is big Like murder then i think the person should be sentenced as an adult.If someone was accused and underage they would want to be charged as a miner. My opinion would not change and the victim would like it because they would go to jail for longer time.

I think convicted felons should have the same rights as citizens with clean records. They should be allowed to obtain a driver's license because they can't go everywhere by just walking or riding a bike. They should be allowed to get any job after a period of time. They should be allowed to travel across state/country borders because they might have family that they want to visit. They should be allowed to vote. They should have the right to live where they want without any problems. I think both individual rights and public safety are important because even though every one wants safety we should also think about the individual rights because they are now citizens.

Convicted felons should have the same rights as citizens, but shouldn't have a clean record. I think that felons should be allowed to get driver's licenses, unless they did a very bad crime. I think that some criminals should be able to get the job they want. The criminals that have done very horrible crimes shouldn't be allowed to cross state/country borders. I think that it is every citizens right to vote even the ones that have been a felon. Felons should be allowed to live wherever they choose. Neighbors should be notified of where they should live just in case they try to do something. I think that public safety is more important than individual rights because the public have the right to be safe.

No i do not think that if they committed a crime over 20 years. they should not be charged after a certain amount of years. I think that they should be charged it they did it in the last 10 years. I don't know about others but i think it should be charged if it has been done in the past 10 years

7. I think they should be able to be given the same rights as citizens with clean records, under certain circumstances. Yes, they should be able to get driver's license, depending on the crime. This is because most of the time it has nothing to do with a car. No, they should not be able to get any job they choose. My reasoning for this is some jobs may not be the best place for a person with certain felonies. I think that if they want to go across state borders, they can. They just need to have some time after getting out to be watched for bad behavior. Yes, they should be aloud to vote. That has nothing to do with being a felon. They can vote for whoever they want to vote for it's their choice. No, they should not be able to live wherever they choose. It depends on the crime the committed. Then they should go live somewhere where that isn't happening. Yes, neighbors should be notified depending on the the crime. I think public safety is more important. This is because that one person's individual rights could put public safety in danger. Those are my personal opinions on criminals citizenship.

16)Yes criminals are citizens because they are people. No I don't think they should just only because they had the same rights as everybody else but they abused it. Yes I believe they should be able to get a drivers licences because if they had a job they need to get there some how. They should not get any job that they want because they could want to work for a prison and help people escape from prison. I think they should be able to cross states and borders depending on what they did. I think they should be able to vote because they need to have some rights. Depending on what they did should allow them to live where they want. Yes, neighbors should be notified so they know where they are and what they did. Public safety is far more important then individual rights.

28- I think criminals should be given the same rights because they cold commit more crimes if they feel left out. I do believe they should have drivers license because they will try to get places in ways that could affect them or others.I also think they should have jobs because it keeps them occupied. They should be allowed to drive across the country because they feel like they have freedom like other people. They should be able to vote because they still have thoughts about our country and they matter. I believe they can live wherever and people around them should not be scared, their rights should be the same as all citizens.

Released convicts should be given the same rights as citizens. They should be allowed the same rights because they deserve another chance to be apart of society and live a good life. They should be allowed drivers license, unless they caused a crime with a car, like drunk driving. Or let them have one more chance, if they do something again with the car take the license away for a couple of years. They should be allowed to get any job they want because they could of went to college for a kind of job but now wont be able to. So they wasted all the money on college and cant even get the job they want. Yes, they should be allowed to go in different countries for vacation or work but should go through as test first and would have to state why, and where they are going. Everyone of age, should be able to vote, no matter the criminal record. They should be able to live where ever they want but neighbors should be notified about them if the crime they committed was serious enough. I think individual rights are more important than public safety because individual rights can protect everyone but public safety might miss a couple of people. Overall I think convicts should be able to do anything citizens can, but should be watched regularly.

9. I think that formal felons should have the same rights as citizens, depending on the crime. Why I think this is because if you commit a crime when your younger, you will still have a record. Felons should also be able to what a normal citizen can do; but it would all have to depended on what their records show. I don't think that surrounding houses should be notified unless it's serious. I believe that a felon should have the same amount of privacy as anyone else, but under the circumstances.

I think that criminals should be considered citizens. Because if you serve your time in jail you should be able to just go on and live your life normally. The only people I think that shouldn't have the same rights as people are convicts who aren't mentally healthy and Kevin mahler, They shouldn't be freed because you never know what they will do next they could just go around and rape a bunch of elderly women and little boys and i don't want those running around my neighborhood. But besides them I think convicts should have the same rights.
