What is the purpose of the policy against harassing sex offenders?

The goal of providing information about the identity and addresses of registered sex offenders is to give you information that empowers you to make the decisions that will keep you and your family safe. However, when members of the community harass, engage in vigilantism, threaten, or intimidate the offender, it may cause that person to go "underground," which would make it difficult or sometimes impossible to track his or her location. If that happens, we cannot provide you with that important information that allows you to make decisions regarding you and your family.
