    1. National Sex Offender Public Registry

    2. What is NSOPR NSOPR, National Sex Offender Public Registry uses the Internet to search public sex offender web sites from state and territories.

    3. 4 Reasons to Build NSOPR A single focal point for citizens to search public sex offender information nationwide. The project builds on existing state technical capabilities. States and local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies retain control over their data and search processes. The decentralized approach is superior to a central data warehouse for a public access project.

    4. How does it work With a single query from any web-capable computer, the user can search by: Name, State, County, City/Town, and Zip Code. The final product will have Zip Code radius searches, allowing searches to cross state lines with a common denominator the zip code.

    6. What is the Method Using web services and XML, the Department of Justice can link to existing public state sex offender registries to provide a national search tool for parents and other concerned Americans.

    9. Why it Matters A secure and reliable national search site that gives citizens immediate access to public sex offender information across states is a vital step in protecting a childs life, reducing and preventing sex crimes and violence nationwide.

    14. Upon accept the conditions of use the individual is brought to this page to enter the criteria for the search. On this slide you will notice the map. In the final product the user will be able to highlight which state or states to search and that will be the criteria for the search. There will also be the ability to search by regions and if the user selects a region the states that will be searched will be highlighted for the user to see. Finally, there is the national search option. This will search all the states currently in the project. From this point the user will also enter either a name, county, city, or zip code as part of the search criteria.Upon accept the conditions of use the individual is brought to this page to enter the criteria for the search.

    16. This is how the results from the query are brought back for the user to view. Each of the names are hyperlinks to the state where the information resides. As you can see the user can also see which state, county, city/town, and zip code is listed for the names to the left. The county information for Maryland is not shown because they do not provide for county searches in that state. Since this is a search engine of publicly available data as it appears in the state the only information available is what the state currently provides the public.This is how the results from the query are brought back for the user to view.

    17. This is the results to the search from New Jersey. As you can see the web page is the same as if the user did a search on the NJ Sex Offender web site. NOTE: Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed by a known child molester who had moved across the street from the family without their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy, the Kanka's sought to have local communities warned about sex offenders in the area. You can also see the state web information comes up in the DOJ window and allows the user to navigate back to the results page or they can decide to do new search.This is the results to the search from New Jersey.

    27. The sex offender definitions provided on this page were taken from the FBI web site and are federal definitions used for the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and for the Uniform Crime Reporting program (UCR). The Federal Bureau of Investigation's definitions comply with the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act of 1996 (Lychner Act) which was added to the 1994 Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexual Violent Offender Registration Program. The Lychner Act states that sex offenders are considered to be a sexually violent predator when they have two or more convictions for an offense requiring them to register, and/or have been convicted under Title 18, United States Code, Section 2241(a)(c) - Aggravated Sexual Abuse, shall register annually or every 90 days for life. All other individuals required to register as a sex offender shall do so annually for at least 10 years after release from prison.

    31. What theyre saying about the NSOPR This is a major step forward for everyone who wants to protect loved ones from sex offenders. . . I applaud the Attorney Generals decision to take this action immediately.

    32. What theyre saying about the NSOPR "No child should ever have to experience the terror of abduction, or worse. No family should ever have to endure the nightmare of losing a child. Our nation grieves with every family that has suffered unbearable loss. And our nation will fight threats against our children."

    33. What theyre saying about the NSOPR "I see the powerful value of the right information being available at the right time to prevent many crimes from ever taking place . . .access to public registry information can offer parents, grandparents, and concerned citizens the ability to protect children by identifying sex offenders nationwide through a single search from their home computer, or even a local library with Internet access."
