The link above is for the New Jersey sex offender registry. It gives names and mugshots of 2,173 sex offenders in New Jersey, as well as 41 fugitives. I do not know exactly what criteria get somebody listed, and obviously not every offender is known.

Not a big fan of Megan's Law, either. It is intrusive, is a complete slap in the face of any correctional system's existing mantra of rehabilitation and, worst of all, make no allowance for exceptions.
Another government-supported, Gestapo-like tactic to placate the unknowing masses. I'll see if I can find it, but there was a blurb in the USAToday a couple months ago where a 12yo boy was convicted on a sex-crime charge because he grabbed a girl of similar age's rear end.
After the conviction, it was noted that, by law, this 12yo was required to register as a sex offender.
HELLO...Hello...hello? IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE?
