N.Y. lawmakers renew push for updated sex offender registry

Former state Sen. David Carlucci, founder and managing partner of David Carlucci Consulting, said the complexities of criminal justice policy in New York can generate concerns that proposed laws either go too far or do not go far enough. He said it’s the nature of the legislative process that it takes time to address those concerns before legislation can advance.
