Sex Offender

State Offender Registries have been around for years. It is now easier to search for sex offenders by going to National Sex Offender Registry.
http://www.nsopw.gov Please note: There are caveats with using this database:

1. Not all states list level 1, 2 and 3 offenders. Offenders are classified based on their ability to reoffend. Level 1 is generally least likely to offender and 3 is much greater.
2. Unless the offender is a lifetime registrant they may be removed from the lists when their parole or probation is finished.
   This is why it is important to search archived lists and lists that are no longer on the internet.
3. 3New York Sex Offenders level 1- 2 are available online. Level 1 are available from the state: NY State Toll Free: 1 800.262.3257 press 2
