What is the public’s concern? “If I knew he was a registered sex offender, I could have protected my daughter.” Megan’s Mom • 45 % of victims are under 12 years old • 75% of victims knew their attacker • 50% of sex offenders repeat their crimes • Sex offenders are mobile, moving an average of three times per year • In one metropolitan area, 80% of the population lived within one mile of a registered sex offender "National Bureau of Justice statistics tell us that 45 per cent of the victims of sex abuse crimes are under 12 years old." Sheriff George H. Payne, JR, Harrison County Mississippi uses OffenderWatch, iCrimeWatch, CrimeWatchAlerts
What’s the impact on law enforcement? Agencies need to analyze sex offender populations spatially for crime analysis and to distribute community notifications. • Sex offenses are high profile crimes that generate community anxiety resulting in greater demands on law enforcement. • A repeat crime by a known offender carries a high political cost • Federal law requires sex offenders register with local and state law enforcement agencies for a period of ten years • Ohio requires written notifications to be mailed to residents living within 1000 feet of a registered sex offender
