This is kinda scary

Put in your zip code and see who lives close to you...

Map of registered offenders in your neighborhood

I have that link in my favorites and keep an eye on who is on the list in Danville and where they live.

I check our neighborhood about every 6 months or so. There's another one, Indiana Sheriff's Sex and Violent Offender Registry, that's from the Indiana Sheriff's depts.

This one purports to search the databases of all states:

CriminalCheck.com

Enjoy.

Take those listings with a grain of salt. They've been shown repeatedly to not be 100% accurate.

It can be kinda scary but everyone should check their neighborhood!

True but is anything 100% accurate? You bring up a good point, that being just because your neighborhood doesn't show any offenders doesn't mean that there isn't some one living near you that just isn't registered. I feel it is important to use as many of these different sites to cross check and then use your own common sense to be as accurate as possible.

Well, what I mean is that just because it says your neighbor is a sex offender doesn't mean he is. Get all the facts first. Back when I lived in Michigan, one of my neighbors showed up in Michigan's list and he ended up having to move due to the constant anonymous harassment. The sex offender either registered with the wrong address or the clerk entered it into the database wrong. It was his house, but he wasn't the guy.

I'm hacking into the website and putting pictures of mods as violent offenders. Scutter, you're first!

Hmmm. Says my neighbor was convicted of voluntary manslaughter 20-some years ago. He has managed to keep his nose clean since though.
