National Sex Offender Registry

The National Sex Offender Registry is a public database that keeps track of individuals who have been convicted of sex crimes in the United States. It aims to provide safety for communities by allowing people to check if there are registered sex offenders living nearby. The registry includes details like the offender's name, photograph, and address. It is maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice and requires offenders to update their information regularly. The goal is to prevent further crimes and raise awareness, while also ensuring that the information is used responsibly and ethically.
