What Is Sex Offender Registration?
Answer
When convicted of a sex crime, you will face various, severe penalties. A common penalty is being required to register as a sex offender. Sex offender registration is a public record stating that you were convicted of a sex crime. This record will include your home address and other personal information. Sex offender registration will seriously affect your future opportunities. In addition, you will likely suffer from severe social stigma.
