Offender Locator is an iPhone App that lets you use the GPS on your iPhone to find registered sex offenders living near your current location. You can also see if any registered offenders live near any contact in your address book, or manually lookup a specific address.
Should any registered offenders be found, the app displays their photo, and the offense they committed. Currently available in a free "Lite" version, or $0.99 for the full version, Offender Locator is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch running iPhone OS 2.0 or later. More details available via the developer's website.
BS application. All offenders should be eliminated and world be nicer place to live.

All the attention given to registered sex offenders gives a distorted perception of the more likely perpetrators of sex crimes against children. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 93% of children who are victims of sexual abuse are victimized by family members or acquaintances. 94% of those arrested for the sexual molestation of children in New York State are first time offenders who are not listed on any registry. To put it another way, if a child has been the victim of sexual abuse, the odds are 4 in 1,000 that the child was victimized by a stranger who is a registered sex offender. The odds are far greater, 874 in 1,000, that the child was victimized by a family member or acquaintance who is not listed on the sex offender registry.
