Content: In most jurisdictions, sex offenders must allow law enforcement officials to search their homes for prohibited items. Other Sex Offender Laws
Because the laws of every state vary, both in their definition of sex-related crimes, and punishment for such crimes, sex offenders in some jurisdictions are likely to be faced with some very different supervision requirements and penalties. For instance, some states restrict the behavior of sex offenders during Halloween, when costumes commonly hide people’s identities, and children are easily lured into private situations. Some jurisdictions allow the courts to order chemical treatment, or surgical castration, to lower an offender’s sex drive. Finally, all jurisdictions restrict where a sex offender may live and work. This includes prohibiting a sex offender from living within a certain specified distance from any school, as well as working in an occupation that involves contact with children. Sex offender Registry
The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006 makes it mandatory for each state to maintain a system to monitor sex offenders after they are released back into the community. The sex offender registry in the United States is in place in order for the government and law enforcement authorities to track and monitor the activities of sex offenders. Convicted sex offenders are required to register, even if they have completed their criminal sentencing. The registry is a database that stores information about the offenders.
