STATES SEX OFFENDERS AT HOME ON ALL ISLANDS

About 31 percent of Hawaiis nearly 3,000 registered sex offenders have
addresses outside Oahu. The state places information about where offenders
live or are incarcerated plus other identifying characteristics on an online
registry: sexoffenders.ehawaii.gov/sexoffender/search.html. Offenders are
required to keep information current and are considered noncompliant and
can be prosecuted for a felony if they dont. The registry is designed to inform
Asterisks (*) denote ZIP code areas that have
prison/jail facilities housing sex offenders.

residents about sex offenders in their communities. The online site can be
searched multiple ways, including by ZIP code or street name. A current
photo, if available, is included for each offender. Some duplication exists on
the registry because offenders who hold jobs or volunteer outside the ZIP
codes where they live or are incarcerated will be listed in that second ZIP
code, too. The graphics below were based on registry data as of Nov. 19.
