Do you mean after they have been caught and released from jail, or trying to catch them, like in chat rooms?

--Computer programs are really big--this one is called Cyber Sentinel. Here's two articles: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D05E6D61730F932A05751C1A9679C8B63

And even LexisNexis helps: http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2008/03/10/daily13.html

--Monitoring bracelets: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4191/is_20080221/ai_n24395049

--The government is getting in on it: http://gov.ca.gov/press-release/5485/

--And so are residents, who can actually VOTE on whether ot no sex offenders can live in their town (!) (or at least in this town--) http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070305/REPOSITORY/703050343/1043/NEWS01

--Each state has a registry for offendors where each offendor must register. Every citizen can go on these sites and search a name to see if they have a sexual predator living near them. Here's Florida's site: http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/homepage.do;jsessionid=LH7pRVdcJGX22v5yWLt3G2l04c1PW7yTvCjxjRYGDYnwmxPSTPCX!2101905149

--States are using GPS: http://peopletrackusa.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/more-states-move-to-use-gps-tracking-of-sex-offenders/

--And then there's that show "To Catch a Predator"--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Catch_a_Predator

a million Be grateful that you simply KNOW a sexual predator is dwelling so near. You can guess there are different humans to your vicinity who've dedicated crimes in opposition to kids however have not ever been stuck. Knowing who he's and what he is performed is bigger than the choice. #two There are legislation in opposition to harassing sexual offenders/predators. Trying to "do anything" to force him out of the vicinity might possibly get you into tons of problem. #three I accept as true with the opposite posters that a few humans can get at the offenders record for matters that are not always that dangerous: 18 yo boyfriend with a fifteen/sixteen yo female friend - no significant deal. Granted, if he is a repeat wrongdoer, then that is severe. But do not soar to conclusions approximately anybody simply in view that they are at the record. Just be intelligent. #four This turns out just like the superb possibility to coach your kids approximately stranger defense, and many others.
