Arizona Sex Offenders

Arizona Sex Offenders Law is the state’s version of “Megan Law” adopted in June 1996. The law protects the Arizona Citizens from re-offending sex offenders. The law notifies the public whenever a convicted sex offender get’s out of Jail or is on probation.

Everyone in Arizona has access to this information. The law ensures information on Sex offenders is on the internet.

The law also makes provision for sex offenders registered in another state but visiting Arizona. Every sex offender that will be in Arizona for more than 10 days (for any reason) must register in Arizona. Transients register as “Travelers with no Home” in the state.

Arizona sex law controls how many offenders on probation can live around a multi-family dwelling to avoid clustering. The bill also states that Level 3 sex offenders may not live within 1000 feet of a day care center, school, or children park.

Arizona Sex Offender Registry

The Arizona Sex Offenders Registry manages the internet page of Arizona Sex Offender Information. The registry provides information on the location of sex offenders in Arizona to the public. The Registry has the task of creating public awareness on the potential threat of sex offenders to Arizona citizens. Its primary aim is to keep the public safe by informing them about sex offenders in the community.

The Registry may not notify you personally about the presence of a sex offender in your neighborhood. Instead, it provides you with full information available on the internet. This information will help you take the right steps towards protecting your children against sex offenders. Also, the information will help prevent convicted sex offenders from re-offending.

According to the Arizona Sex Offenders law, the Registry updates the website.

The registry also verifies the name, photograph, and address of sex offenders in Arizona. Thus, they provide accurate information to the public.

What does a Sex Offender Look Like?

Most people think sexual predators are scary-looking and creepy. But three out of four adolescents who were sexually assaulted were victimized by someone they knew well.

Most of the time, sexual predators look like regular people. Children and parents need to know and to understand that anyone can be a sexual predator, no matter how "normal" they appear.

Encouraging Children to Share

It isn't always easy to build a trusting relationship with your child. Trying to get your children to share what is going on in their lives can be difficult.

Building an open and welcoming environment from the beginning stages of a child's life is essential. Children are less intimidated and more likely to discuss issues and topics in their lives with an open and supportive environment.

Getting your kids to share serves as a building block for times when your child needs to discuss pressing issues like sex and sexual abuse.
