Predators Among Us
This interactive narrative, about the Jimmy Ryce Act (a crack-down policy for sexual offenders), exposes a poorly run institutional program geared towards changing the mindset of the worst sexual predators in the state of Florida. This site, set up by the Miami Herald, is relatively professional but lacking in multimedia interactive material. It contains articles and sound bites from sexual therapists and personnel involved with the institution, but the photographs are small and few, and the sound bites are monotone with mediocre quality. Although I stayed interested for a while reading about the Jimmy Ryce Act and the cavalier attitudes of the programs set up to rehabilitate pedophiles, rapists, etc., I feel they could have done much more. It seemed obvious that they should have video footage and other links to journal articles and sites dealing with sexual predators. Perhaps even a link for people to seek help concerning sexually abusive experiences. Overall, this interactive narrative was more narrative and less interactive, which is disappointing considering the potential of the topic.
