Q&A: Sex offenders register
- Published
Criminals who have been put on the sex offenders register for life are set to be given the right to challenge that decision.
It follows last year's Supreme Court ruling that - under human rights laws - offenders in England and Wales should have the opportunity to prove they had reformed and have their names removed from the list.
Home Office officials are examining how a review system would work. Details are expected to be published in the next few months.
