Sex offenders/name change
Legislation on either a State or Federal level preventing convicted paedophiles/sex offenders from changing their names would help prevent sex crime.
Allowing a paedophile to change their name makes it more difficult for Police to keep tabs on them and easier for the paedophile to hide their past,which may well assist them to re-offend.
It is no secret that paedophiles/sex offenders are likely to re-offend and thrive on secrecy.

Pedophiles To Face Identity Change Bans

NSW is drawing up laws to prevent convicted pedophiles changing their names or appearance to hide their true identity.
NSW Attorney-General John Hatzistergos said today such criminals will go to extreme lengths to gain anonymity.
The new legislation would outlaw plastic surgery for convicted pedophiles and prevent them making certain applications to the registrar of births, deaths and marriages.
Mr Hatzistergos told the Nine Network today the new laws would bolster the existing national sex offenders register, ensuring that pedophiles were easily monitored and fully accountable to authorities.
"So they don't wreak havoc on other people's lives and children's lives,'' he said.
But the move must be adopted nationally to be totally effective.
"People could effectively change their identity, come to NSW and we would not be in a position to track their movements,'' Mr Hatzistergos said.
Child protection campaigner Hetty Johnston welcomed the changes and urged other states to follow NSW's lead.
"We need cooperation between the states and territories on the issue of child sexual assault absolutely desperately,'' Ms Johnston, from the Bravehearts organisation, told the Nine Network.
