I thought readers would like to have information on the most current information on register sex offender's in the U.S. I located this information on http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/number-of-registered-sex-offenders-in-the-us-nears-three-quarters-of-a-million-137880068.html
There has been an increase of over 7,500 new registered sex offenders since June, 2011. That is over 1,000 new sex offenders each month. This is unacceptable. I know that these aren't all pedophiles. I also know that there several stories a day in the news on pedophiles. I am going to look for some statistics on the number of sexual offenders who are pedophiles. Right now there is almost three quarters of a million registered sex offenders in the U.S. Can you imagine what the numbers really are? This is very scary.
To think that there are people trying to normalize pedophilia and those that think that child sexual abuse doesn't have any effect on children. To all those who support these ideas. Wake up! Wake up I say! You're a part of the problem. Stop being a part of the problem. Help us to protect children. Rosie
Registered Sex Offender Numbers Increased 23 Percent in Past 5 Years
California, Texas and Florida Top the List
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 23, 2012
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC) released the results of its latest survey
regarding the number of registered sex offenders located in the U.S.
The organization's most recent survey of states found there are 747,408
registered sex offenders in the country today, which represents an
increase of 7,555 offenders from the previous survey in June 2011.

NCMEC
conducted its first survey in 2006, which showed there were 606,816
registered sex offenders in the U.S. In just five years, an additional
140,592 convicted sex offenders have been added to sex offender
registries across the country, an increase of 23.2%. The three states
with the largest number of registered sex offenders are California (106,216), Texas (68,529) and Florida (57,896).
"The
courts have long held that the requirement that a convicted sex
offender register with authorities is not punitive, it is regulatory,"
said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of
NCMEC. "It is a reasonable measure designed to provide important
information to authorities and to help protect the public, particularly
children. These registries are especially important because of the high
risk of re-offense by some of these offenders, and the fact that most
of the victims of America's sex offenders are younger than 18 years of
age."
The first sex offender registry was created in 1947 in California. Today, every state has such a registry.
NCMEC
created the survey in 2006, following the enactment of the Adam Walsh
Child Protection and Safety Act in July of that year. Each year since
the survey was created, NCMEC contacts the sex offender registry in each
state as well as registries located in the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).
In the US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. Croix maintain separate
sex offender registries, bringing the total number of registries
surveyed to 57.
"America
has awakened to the threat posed by sex offenders," said Allen.
"Today, there is a system in place. Law enforcement is more vigilant
and common-sense steps have been taken to better protect the public,
particularly the children."
NCMEC
has conducted 13 sex offender register surveys since 2006 and were
performed quarterly until 2009. Since then, they have been done twice
each year.
In
2006 NCMEC also created a special dedicated Sex Offender Tracking
Team. This group of analysts -- working with the U.S. Marshals Service
and state and local law enforcement -- accesses donated public records
data and aids in locating an estimated 100,000 noncompliant or fugitive
sex offenders. To date, NCMEC has received 15,802 requests from law
enforcement nationwide to assist in locating noncompliant sex offenders,
and has provided 15,763 analytical leads packages to law enforcement,
resulting in the apprehension of thousands of fugitives.
