Rhode Island Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The National Sex Offender Registry Assistance Program (NSOR) administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) supports establishing an effective national registry of sex offenders. Such a registry will ensure that accurate and complete information about sex offenders is appropriately made to protect the public and prevent further victimizations. Additionally, the program assists state's in meeting requirements of federal legislation such as The Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, Megan's Law, and the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act, and their own state legislation regarding these issues. In Rhode Island this will entail certain provisions of its Megan's Law, Rhode Island General Laws §11-37.1-1, Sexual Offender Registration and Community Notification Act."

Other Registries

Although you can get registered sex offender information directly from a State Sex Offenders List like that of Rhode Island, in fact, from almost all state government web sites, you'll probably find it easier to do a free search or a full search of several other sex offender registries.
