iPhone Makes It Easier
Unlike too many people to count, I do not own an iPhone. I am stuck with a wireless carrier that does not offer it. But, after reading an interesting article, I may have to change my ways. iPhone now offers a new application, Offender Locator, that "lets users locate and list nearby registered sex offenders using the phone's built-in Global Position System (GPS)." The application, jokingly named "iPerv" by more than one news outlet, gives you instant information about registered sex offenders in your immediate area. But, remember to constantly check your local and the national offender databases as well.

Update: Apple has pulled the Offender Locator application from its app store for legal reasons, although a free version — Offender Locator Lite — is still available. Also, always remember to check your state's offender database for the most up to date info on registered sex offenders in your area.
