There are a few sites that I want my readers to be aware of. First is the sex offender registry. Please view this link. You can search for a specific person by looking up their first and last name. OR you can search by state, county, city, or zip code. There is also a site where you can search by state. This will give you the option to search your address, and see who is located in your area. The sex offender registry will give you the sex offenders address, in some cases their place of employment, a photograph, and offense details. This is a good site to check on occasion for your own safety. Whether you are viewing because you have a child, or for your own safety, this site is worth checking out. Sexually violent predators are among us, and it is good to be familiar of who is living around you.
Another site that I love is called MyCrimeSpace. The author of this site posts about those who utilize SNS's to commit crimes. It is a good way to read some cases that have happened on SNS's. I utilize this site when I present on the dangers of SNS's, to give some real life examples. Enjoy!
Rachel, which is the site you mention where you can search by address?
ReplyDeleteEach state has their own sex offender registry, but Tippecanoe County, where you can search by your address, can be found:

I like your post a LOT; I think that the MyCrimeSpace website is very unique. I’m not going to lie it's scary BUT it does enlighten people on what’s going on. Because we all think that nothing is going to happen to us and that we are perfectly safe. I didn’t read all the stories posted but some of them just blew my mind!! Like there were some stories about children porn using facebook. OMG!!
