When someone is convicted of any type of sex crime, they must register as a sex offender. As soon as the offender is entered into the database/registry, the government can pinpoint their exact residence. The database/registry also benefits the general population because the information is made public.
There are 11,905 registered sex offenders living in Alabama. According to HomeFacts.com, the majority of Alabama’s registered sex offenders live in the following 12 counties. Please note, the ratio of offenders is per 10,000 residents.
