Technical considerations for the developments of (child) sex offender registries

McCartan, Kieran; Constant, Sendrine; Beg, Zahra

Abstract

The aim of this document is NOT to support or proscribe the use of a sex offender registry, but rather it is to suggest points of consideration for countries contemplating developing or reviewing their own registry. The development, rollout, and maintenance of a sex offender registry is not a cheap, easy solution to a complex problem. Our advice is always to fully consider the purpose, use, and impact of registration before rolling it out, and to do this it is recommended to look at the evidence and talk with colleagues from a range of countries that already have registries.
