Two weeks after it came to light, the shock waves of the Austrian incest case continue to be felt by many, not least the Austrians themselves. This is a classic example of how sex offenses can be more damaging than hardcore crimes. Josep Fritzl was a known Sex Offender, yet he was able to perpetrate so inhumanely and get away with it for 24 years. How safe is this world anymore?

We don't know how many more Elisabeths are out there but we definitely have an idea of how many more potential Joseps there are in America. As we sympathize with Elisabeth Fritzl, let her plight not be totally in vain if it was but only the wake-up call we need. It is obvious now that we need to take a closer look and tighten the various Sex Offender Management and Treatment programs that are in place and possibly insert a few additional ones.

Judging from public measures that have been put in place to combat Sex Offenders, it is evident that we're in better shape than Austria. Convicted Sex Offenders are required by law to register their whereabouts and activities. They are forbidden to reside within a certain distance from public amenities like playgrounds, schools and childcare centers. They are also barred from certain events and places. Their records also stay much longer, mostly a lifetime. All this are necessary, given that Sex Offenders are basically sick in the mind and need to be watched.

Sex offenders are a recalcitrant bunch. On the average, 3% get back into trouble within 3 years of completing their sentence. While still on probation or parole, the numbers are much worse, going as high as 20% in some states. All these statistics are just counting those who got nabbed. Worse still is they would be trickier second time around and often with a vengeance. We simply can't be too careful with them.

Sex offenders go for easy meat so don't be that. They also generally shy away if you know about them. It therefore pays to be up to speed on who are on the sex offender lists of the neighborhood of your home, workplace, school or any of the places that you visit on a regular basis. It's also very convenient nowadays to run through Sex Offender Registries online. If you have a particular individual in mind, you can conduct a comprehensive investigation by retrieving the personal Sex Offender Records.

With the advent of internet and computerization, Sex Offender Records are easily accessed. As a result, they are commonly used in both formal and social environments such as employment screening, volunteer assessment, police work, court cases and checking on nannies, tenants, friends and relatives. All that's needed is a full name and address or another form of identification like ID or Social Security Number.

Sex Offender Records can be obtained free-of-charge (FOC) from government or other public-service agencies. Another version is the fee-based commercial record providers which are proving to be the preferred option. Unlike the former, there's virtually no waiting time. Competition is immense in the industry so fees are very reasonable and the records they produce come with professional standards and plug-and-play readiness.
