Why Conduct a Sex Offender Search?
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that there are over 500,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. Furthermore, the likelihood of a criminal repeating their previous criminal habits is four times higher for sex crimes than for other offenses.
The U.S. Department of Justice also states that as many as 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday; that equals to be approximately 1.8 million adolescents. If your company works with children or with the public it is a necessity to conduct a national sex offender search.
A sex offender search is a good way to make sure you are protecting your customers and employees. It is a good idea to conduct this search if you have employees that will be unsupervised or working with others. Rape, child molestation and gross sexual imposition are all factors today in our society and you need to protect yourself and your business not only from a legal standpoint but you have a moral obligation to your employees and customers.
