Sex Offender Registries/Community Notification
Taxonomy Code: FN-1500.6250-800
Programs that seek to prevent released sex offenders from committing new crimes by requiring them to register with local law enforcement officials or other agencies maintaining a central sex offender registry. Sex offender registry requirements vary by jurisdiction but information for the registry typically includes name, address, date of birth, social security information, physical description, fingerprints and photographs. Conviction information may also be required, as well as samples for DNA identification. Law enforcement authorities may also have the obligation to disseminate information about registered sex offenders. Notification may extend to prior victims, neighbors, schools, youth organizations and other relevant individuals or groups. In some cases, community-wide notification may be required. Newspapers, television, radio and community meetings are some of the methods used to provide community notification.
