If the offender is dangerous, why is he or she being released to the community?
Sex offenders and other criminals have always lived in our communities often without us being aware of their existence or criminal history. Offenders listed on the Maine Sex Offender Registry have all served the sentence required by the court system and are released under the supervision of law enforcement, corrections personnel, and the Maine Sex Offender Registry.
