Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry

The goal of the Sex Offender Registry is to educate the public and to prevent further victimization. Access the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry website

National Sex Offender Public Website

The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), coordinated by the U.S Department of Justice, is a cooperative effort between jurisdictions hosting public sex offender registries (“Jurisdictions”) and the federal government and is offered free of charge to the public. These Jurisdictions include the 50 states, U.S Territories, the District of Columbia, and participating tribes. The Website provides an advanced search tool that allows a user to submit a single national query to obtain information about sex offenders; a listing of public registry websites by state, territory, and tribe; and information on sexual abuse education and prevention.

The criteria for searching are limited to what each individual Jurisdiction may provide. Also, because information is hosted by each Jurisdiction and not by the federal government, search results should be verified by the user in the Jurisdiction where the information is posted. Users are advised to visit the corresponding Jurisdiction Websites for further information and / or guidance, as appropriate. Access the National Sex Offender Public Registry.
