The criminal justice public policy is used in many different manners. In addition to providing guidance to officials in the criminal justice department, these policies are relevant to cases that require a high level of discretion. For example, cases pertaining to sexual offenses, which in any way link with the officials working at the higher end of the hierarchy. The criminal justice public policy also aids the Federal Government in enforcing federal laws pertaining to offenses of sexual nature ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"gNelv31F","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Porte 2017)","plainCitation":"(Porte 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":384,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"itemData":{"id":384,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Hastings Const.

These offenses might include sexual abuse, web-based predatory offenses or other sex-related crimes in federal jurisdiction. The Military Sex Offender Reporting Act of 2015 is the same Congressional Act, which in spirit prevents such offenses.

Considering the novelty introduced by the Military Sex Offender Reporting Act of 2015, the criminal justice public policy expands its role to suggest remedies for the flaws in this act. Since each state in the US, has laws to prevent sex-related offenses, with the introduction of the Military Sex Offender Reporting Act of 2015, Congress has standardized such legislations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"hmHdfG7P","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Porte 2017)","plainCitation":"(Porte 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":384,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"itemData":{"id":384,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Hastings Const.

The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) is also a component of the standardization mechanism related to such offenses.

The criminal justice public policy is a remedy to the above mentioned laws by suggesting minimum requirements for sex offenses as well as their notification and registration. It provides assistance to the state laws which in any way are narrow in scope to help an offender pertaining to sex-related cases, and also maintains a public record relevant to the sex offenses or sex offenders being detained ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"kGSmgEwL","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Porte 2017)","plainCitation":"(Porte 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":384,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/8reWiRZH/items/QD9ZNT5N"],"itemData":{"id":384,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Hastings Const.

This sex offender registry helps to sort these laws related mechanisms in different manners, for example, by providing timely provision to law enforcement against culprits. Interesting to note is the fact that the criminal justice public policy remedy the Military Sex Offender Reporting Act of 2015, by receiving and transmitting valued information to international mechanisms for sex offenses.
