The Dobbs Wire has produced a new chart with the latest sex offense registry statistics for every state and Washington DC, along with figures from 2017. One key indicator continues to increase — the total number on blacklists is now 912,643. That’s a 4.8% climb in the last 12 months! 42,001 listings have been added since 2017.
These government blacklists produce no benefit to public safety but they sure pack a punch. Life shattering consequences include routine harassment, discrimination and even vigilante attacks. Are such lists needed? That’s a public discussion that needs to happen.
Oddly, the federal government doesn’t track the numbers; a federally funded non-profit organization does: National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) updates an online map with the statistics every six months, those figures are the best available although their accuracy has been questioned.
Have a look at the attachment, our new chart. -Bill Dobbs, The Dobbs Wire [email protected]
This is where I seen it while checking other sites .

It will reach 1,000,000 in no time. The average population of a metropolis.
74,629 for Florida in 2018. I’m guessing that includes registrants who are deceased and out of state registrants as well.
Would be interesting to know how many of the 74,629 are actually active and alive. I think Florida likes those big homogenized numbers and want them to increase to receive federal funding maybe ??
If 70,000 registrants would be allowed to vote, that’s a big chunk to make a considerable difference when voting – including their supporting families and close friends votes as well.
In Florida;
Absconded 851 1.15%
Civil Commitment 524 0.71%
Confinement 18559 25.16%
Deceased 986 1.34%
Deported 2830 3.84%
Thanks for the numbers FAC. I forgot about those in civil commitment and those deported. Much more interesting now. They just hold on to that 74,629 number like if their system depended on it. $$$
another 1/3 are on Florida’s registry that visited here (or lived here) at one point, but are no longer in the state.
this is why we need to raise more money for the out of state challenge
Amen to that I got out when I had the chance, I had lived in other states and now live in Az. I had never been in trouble till I lived in Fla. that shows that Fla is nothing but a Police State!!
If someone was capable of raising the funds for the out-of-state challenge. I could do it! I have the list of the out-of-state resident and I’m ready to go.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual total numbers (active/alive/native) were in the 10,000 to 15,000 or so. If this is true, then the registry is a huge fraudulent scam that does nothing but cause harm to everyone by those who sustain it. What a waste of money, time and energy.
Im impressed by the number of absconders if something happened to my wife id be gone the next day!
There are plenty who would rather chance a registration violation to live normally.
You face a potential punishment rather than an actual punishment.
they know we kick their @ss out of office
I thought the registry was only for life families should sue for leaving their loved one up I think it infuriates me more than being on it to know when im dead ill be on there.
I wonder if anyone is studying the loss of tax revenue from the masses of registered citizens who can’t find work because of the public registries. Or better yet, maybe someone should study the cost of welfare programs registered citizens are forced to use because they can’t find work.
What welfare programs, I’m denied any type of help on housing, I’m denied on food stamps prior the the farm bill I believe. So what actual programs can we actually recieve.we pay the taxes for all this stuff but as rso we are denied because of our charges.
Robert, I am referring to programs for indigent people, which includes registered sex offenders (RSO’s). Such programs include but are not limited to medical care at county and state run facilities, food stamps (many RSO’s do qualify), free cell phone service, etc.
Ok, I have tried for medical care and denied, as for the food stamps. The farm bill, if approved states no registered sex offender is to be approved. That’s why I was wondering if I’m missing out on getting some kind of help.
Robert, are you able to post a link about the Farm Bill? If it’s just a bill, then it’s not law. As for medical care in Florida, you may qualify for grants under your local county or state run medical center.
Actually last month I believe this site actually had posted a story about the farm bill which is waiting to be passed. That’s I learned about it.
Its slavery. Welfare is only to keep people out of the market, control inflation and wages (keep people from driving wages down competing for wages); since most RSO aren’t in the market no need to pay them to sit on the bench.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/11/congresss-billion-farm-bill-is-out-heres-whats-it/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4bf7f73b3265 I dont see anything about being (RSO) cut off.
The sex offender registry has created an economic caste system in the United States.
Even if there are no laws preventing someone from going somewhere or doing something in a particular place, the fear or uncertainty surrounding the law(s) make it easier to just stay home and not participate in society.
I see the registry often described as a form of social death for registrants and their families. But it also amounts to a form of societal death in that numbers of people have limited participation in society.
The registry bears a striking resemblance to the Jim Crow south. I would be interested to know the effect that maintaining such discriminatory systems has on a society. I imagine we are a much poorer nation than we otherwise would be because of the sex offender registry and the associated laws surrounding it.
