A sex offender registry is a system in various countries designed to allow government authorities to keep track of the residence and activities of sex offenders, including those who have completed their criminal sentences.

In some jurisdictions in the United States, where sex offender registration began, registration is accompanied by residential address notification requirements.

In many jurisdictions, registered sex offenders are subject to additional restrictions, including on housing.

Those on parole or probation may be subject to restrictions that do not apply to other parolees or probationers.

Sometimes, these include (or have been proposed to include) restrictions on being in the presence of underage persons (under the age of majority), living in proximity to a school or day care center, owning toys or items targeted towards children, or using the Internet.

Sex offender registries exist in many English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland.

Sex offender registration does not exist outside of the English-speaking world, however.

The United States is the only country with a registry that is publicly accessible; all other countries in the English-speaking world have sex offender registries only accessible by law enforcement.

Law is a system of rules that are created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior.

Law as a system helps regulate and ensure that a community show respect, and equality amongst themselves.

State-enforced laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations, or established by judges through precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions.

Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the normal court process.

The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein.

The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.

In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority.

The term "crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition, though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes.

The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law.

One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong").

Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.

Public law (lat.

ius publicum) is that part of law which governs relationships between individuals and the government, and those relationships between individuals which are of direct concern to society.

Public law comprises constitutional law, administrative law, tax law and criminal law, as well as all procedural law.

In public law, mandatory rules prevail.

Laws concerning relationships between individuals belong to private law.
