It's clearly election-eering due to the dismal showing of the Conservatives of ate. Most of what she has said on immigration, trans people etc. is aimed at a certain demographic. The terminology used in her speech was a little concerning, however. The term "Sexual Predators" was used - surely using inflammatory terminology is is to gain headlines, but she has ultimately just stated everyone who is on, are has been on the SOR is a predator and dangerous.
From the sounds of what she said, it seems likely to only cover those "on the register". The back-shot of this is there will be a whole host of people who are unemployable.

Hi
Most of this type of wording is also hyped up by the media reporting that is aimed at getting revenue.

I'm not saying she did not say these type of words but reporters have poetic licence because of the above!

Also you have to remember it has to get through parliament and the House of Lords who sometimes take a more understanding and balanced stance.

There are going to be major changes in the next parliament but; like with life sentences, the headline grabbing ones will be aimed at the most serious of convictions, ie murderers be they sex or abuse linked.
Think about it, how can it be justified a drug dealer is allowed to change his name when you consider it is recognized they have an abusive nature towards "children".

Remember "though it is wise to be aware of your surroundings, it is important to only stress over what you can control!"

Another idea that's been floated is renting prison places in other countries, because the UK's jails are full up.

Not a hope in hell of any of these policies being enacted before the tories are ejected at the next election. They may as well offer free hovercrafts to every pensioner.
