I have a question. If it has already been answered I apologize. I have read through a lot of posts but I have yet to find an answer. In doing my research on Idaho cities/towns I have noticed that Idaho has a high ratio of sex offenders. I have read the posts where people say that Idaho is so much tougher on sex offenders than other states that is why the ratio is so high. However, I cannot find any concrete evidence to support this other than opinion. Does anyone know of a web site or article that can reinforce this opinion? I would like to see some supporting research. I am not trying to start a fight or provoke anyone. I am VERY interested in moving to Idaho and I am just trying to make an educated and informed decision on where to move my family and me. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have an article or website, but I can tell you if a 19 year old "man" is caught with a minor female; i.e.boyfriend and girlfriend, he will be a registered sex offender.

Don't worry. Nobody is offended. Hard to point you to something because it's a different in case law, practical sentencing guidelines, etc. I saw it over and over with sex offenders pleading down severe crimes to things that wouldn't get them listed as a registered offender.

Just to help in your search of areas you might want to live, here is a search page for the Central Sex Offender Registry. It also has a mapping function which you might find useful.

There are a lot of them around the area. They come over from Geiger correctional in Washington State. Do a search on sex offenders in North Idaho and in Spokane Wa.

Ok here ya go. Now I don't understand why you could not find anything.
It's what makes the internet so great you can look things up. If I find the evidence you need why do you need it?

You did not answer my original question. I did not ask for help in finding where sex offenders live. I do not need evidence that sex offenders exist. I need evidence that Idaho is tougher/stricter on sex offenders than other states.

I've been doing a similar search, and although I'm not an expert, it seems that areas with low cost of living have a higher concentration of sex offenders, pretty much nationwide. It makes sense - I don't imagine that sex offenders are going to get a particularly well paying job. Looking at the offenses, I wouldn't attribute any of those to tougher enforcement. To me, there isn't much of a gray area in terms of messing with kids. full disclosure: I don't live in Idaho - just thinking about it.
