Sex Offender Laws Research 

See the latest SOLR report, Riding the Registry, last updated on August 13, 2012.

Welcome to SOL Research. This website was established to provide factual information about sex offender laws and their effects on people and society. While the organizers of the site have a point of view about sex offender laws, the purpose of this site is not to advocate a political position, but to provide information that allows people to understand and make informed decisions.

If this is your first time here, you may wish to see:

  • Some of the key findings.
  • Short questions and answers about sex offender laws and registries.
  • More detailed information in specific reports on a variety of subjects.
  • Links to the Q & A and reports, organized according to issues they relate to, in the Topical Index.
  • The entire contents of the site in the Site Map.

This site grew out of research conducted to check the validity of claims made on the website, ReformSexOffenderLaws.org. The listed questions and answers on this site correspond to the footnotes given on that one. The initial contents of this site are written by Marshall Burns, Ph.D. Content may be added by other authors as the site develops.

If you notice any errors or omissions, or if you wish to comment on the material found on this site, please contact us.
