Abstract

This study examines the effects of sex offender registration and community notification on law enforcement agencies that maintain publicly provided Internet pages of registered sex offenders who are subjected to community notification. The data in the present study were derived from telephone interviews and from electronically administered surveys. The respondents (n = 21) were law enforcement officials responsible for posting and maintaining publicly accessible Internet pages of registered sex offenders subjected to community notification. Findings suggest that law enforcement officials perceive community members as being grateful of the role that law enforcement agencies have been obligated to fulfill.
