First off people really need to understand the your sex offender registry is not and I repeat NOT the Holy Grail of all things EVIL. But in the same breath, I can not impart on you strongly enough that most people have no idea what truly dangerous persons are in their neighborhoods. Many who would make your hair stand up have no sexual offenses listed in their criminal history. More on those later. If you want to educate your self on the various criminal charges, its not hard to do. The registry will usually list the crime and provide a link to its definition. If not, copy, paste and add the state you are in and google it. State statutes will usually be on the first page. I highly recommend the public get familiar with them. It is also unlikely that your sex offender website will include the entire criminal history of any given offender. What may be an offense you dont consider violent must be taken in context with previous history. But also, a sexual battery charge may not include the fact the guy broke into someones house and raped and beat the 15 year old babysitter, while the babies slept in the next room. Now I dont know about you, but thats a horrible visualization.

sex offenders in violation

There has been much press on the trials and tribulations of sex offenders and their issues on residency restrictions. I have found most people are under the impression ALL sex offenders have these restrictions. That is not true. They can vary by state and even localities. It is up to you to determine what those restrictions are and exactly what offenders are under those umbrella of restrictions. In most cases an offender has had to have committed the offense within certain dates and of a narrow range of felony charges. So just know that all sex offenders do not have restrictions of living near schools, playgrounds, parks and areas of where children congregate.

system breakdowns

I have dedicated the last twenty years to educating myself on the issues of the public, the judicial system and law enforcement in relation to convicted sex offenders. It is far more complicated than most people think. In fact the general public overall think that the systems that have been financed with their hard earned dollars for their protection are in force and working. I am here to tell you they are not. In fact, the more I learn, the more disappointed and disgusted I get.
