That page is clearly sexist. Where are all the women??

Oregon has a few counties with sex offender listings on line. The following website tries to keep up with what the counties (and occasionally individual communities) offer across the nation, if anything. A very few Oregon counties provide detailed info like Jackson County now does. A few require the concerned to call. The rest could use to improve their level of servcie.

Oregon as a state is lagging behind the rest of the country. There was a movement in this year's legislature to get the OSP (I think) to a statewide, online sex offender registry. I haven't heard what the resolution is, though.

Geez, if Jackson County has 32 sex offenders on its page (and those are just the predatory ones), how many might Multnomah County have? I was initially thinking it might be in the thousands, but I see that Multnomah County's population is not quite four times as much as Jackson County's, so the math would tell me it's about 115.

Numbers aside, I hope such publicity would be a deterrent to potential abusers. But, even if it had no such effect, it's still a worthwhile service for Joe & Judy Public with a couple of kids next door to a registered offender.

Nice to see everyone so up on promoting hysteria. There HAS to be a better solution!

Multnomah County does have a predatory sex offender Web site. Here is the URL: http://www.co.multnomah.or.us/dcj/acjsoffendersup.shtml

The Portland Police website DOES have an online listing for predatory sex offenders.
