Should convicted criminals be allowed to publish scientific papers and obtain patents?

Yes or no. Explain your reasoning.

  • Many criminals already have published. We can often learn from their experiences or insights. I consider much modern soap opera type material available nowadays to be junk and it is "criminal" to publish it.


    Regarding scientific papers and other useful material, I  say yes, convicted criminals should be at liberty to publish such material.


    Also, any inventor should be able to patent their invention.
