Because there are different degrees of sexual offenders and all should not be blanketed under the same label. Take for instances Genarlow Wilson, 17, and his friend who had consensual oral sex from a 15 year old girl in Georgia. It is a felony despite being consensual because she was 15. Wilson did not take the plea bargain to be labeled as a sex offender for the rest of his life, like his friend did, and decided to go to trial. He sat in jail for 2 years until it was later reversed.

How can someone ever be expected to be made ‘well’ again if they are just demonised?

Sex Offenders
The University of Washington Police Department considers the protection of our community from sex offenders of significant importance. The objective of the 1990 Community Protection Act was to provide adequate notice to the community concerning sex offenders who are, or will be attending, working or residing on the campus, and to assist our community members in developing constructive plans to prepare themselves and their children for residing near released sex offenders.
Information that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the danger created by a particular offender is released pursuant to RCW 4.24.550.
The extent and content of the disclosure of relevant and necessary information shall be related to:
* The risk posed by the offender to the community;
* The location where the offender resides, intends to reside, is regularly found, or is employed; and,
* The needs of affected community members for information that is necessary to protect their interests and safety.
The manner and mode of dissemination is restricted by the standards set forth by the legislature and interpreted by the Washington State Supreme Court in State v. Ward, 123 Wn. 2d 488, (1994) and its progeny.

#God so if there are several degrees, their identity should be notified according their offence. Simple as that.
