How do you not have a national sex offender registry?
RSBM
I think you may have missed the word 'public' when we talk about a national child sex offender registry. We do have such a registry - the ANCOR. It is just not viewable by the public. It is something that only the authorities can access at the moment. Which helps them, but doesn't help us, on a day to day basis.
We also have a registry - the MPS - for persons who have been charged but not convicted. Again, only accessible to the authorities.
(MAKO try to help the public with the info, as much as they can ..... http://www.mako.org.au/prelist.html )
More at link ..... https://www.acic.gov.au/our-services/child-protection/national-child-offender-system"The National Child Offender System (NCOS) is a web-based application that allows Australian police to record and share child offender information. It directly enables police in each state and territory to manage key information to meet their requirements under respective child protection legislation.
An Australian Child Protection Offender Reporting scheme was established by legislation in each Australian State and Territory. This national scheme requires child sex offenders, and other defined categories of serious offenders against children, to keep police informed of their whereabouts and other personal details for a period of time after they are released into the community.
The NCOS consists of the Australian National Child Offender Register (ANCOR) and the Managed Person System (MPS).
- The ANCOR allows authorised police officers to register, case manage and share information about registered persons. It assists police to uphold child protection legislation in their state or territory
- The MPS holds information on alleged offenders who are charged but not convicted, or after an offender’s reporting obligations have been completed."
