The biggest problem I have with these lists is the publication of them on the internet. If I live in NJ, unless I am planning on moving there, why do I need to know that there are 212 sex offenders in East Bumfuck, Nebraska? If I was planning on moving to that area, I would check it out, I would go to the police department and find out stats.

This is information that, at best, belongs in the neighborhood only, let the police notify the neighborhood who is a sex offfender/murderer/burglar/drug dealer/whatever... What good comes from putting it on the internet for worldwide consumption.
