Offender Registration and Notification

Offender Registration and Notification refer to legal requirements that certain individuals convicted of crimes, especially sex offenses, must follow after their release from incarceration. They are often required to register with local authorities and provide personal information such as their address, employment, and identifiers. This information is made available to the public through registries or notifications to help communities stay informed and ensure safety. The goal is to monitor offenders, prevent reoffending, and enable community awareness, while balancing privacy rights and public safety considerations.
