Right, because stigmatization contributes to recidivism and is unjustified. You really don't think through the things you say, do you?
Being suspicious of someone who has acted dishonorably isn't a violation of their rights. You aren't impeding the attempt of a person in good standing to pursue happiness.
What you're doing is noting that if someone has acted badly in the past, that's a pretty fair indication that they may do so in the future.
