How To Find Out About Sex Offenders Living Near You

Every year some new piece of legislation is enacted at the state or federal level to help protect children from sexual predators and pedophiles. Unfortunately, most of this legislation still requires parents to be proactive when it comes to learning about where sex offenders are currently living. Legislation already exists in many places to block sex offenders from living within certain areas. However, this is not enough. That legislation does not tell you when a sex offender is living across the street from you or when a sex offender has moved down the street from you. For all you know, your children might be playing in your yard right beside the home of a sex offender. So how can you protect yourself from sex offenders and pedophiles?

Protecting your children is a full time endeavor. However, the government has made the job easier. When a person becomes a registered sex offender, they are faced with certain requirements. They are required to register where they live and work. This is important, but it is of little consequence if you do not know this information. Fortunately, there is a website that allows you to search for sex offenders by name, search for sex offenders by geographic location and search for sex offenders within a certain radius of a particular address. That last type of search is particularly useful for people who are perhaps moving to a particular area. You can see what sex offenders and pedophiles live near your new address along with information about their crimes.

The websites that give you sex offender information are free.

1. The US Department Of Justice maintains the National Sex Offender Public Website. This website offers you a wealth of information about sex offenders in addition to a first-class search feature that allows you to locate the sex offenders in your area. 
2. The FBI maintains a list to individual state level sex offender registries. This list includes US territories as well as links to several Native American Indian sex offender registries.

These resources will help you identify sex offenders and pedophiles in your area.
