Anger and revulsion over the death of Megan Kanka, a 7-year-old New Jersey girl raped and murdered by a convicted pedophile, led Congress in 1996 to require states to register and provide public notification on sex offenders or lose federal money.
As a result, Florida adopted a law, effective 7/1/96, requiring the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to maintain an updated list of Registered Sexual Predators in this state after a court has made a written finding designating them as a Sexual Predator as that term is defined by Florida statute.
Chapter 97-299, Laws of Florida, requires certain sex offenders to directly register with law enforcement or to have information compiled by the Department of Corrections, with the information to be provided to FDLE.

Researchers who have studied sex offenders nationally have found that getting exact data on "recidivism", which means to relapse into criminal behavior, after servicing their sentence, is difficult. Sex crimes often are not reported because of the stigma and fear among victims. Many sex offenders often commit several crimes before they are caught. And the term "sex offender" applies to a variety of criminals, from child molesters to rapists, who often have different behavioral patterns.
According to Canadian researchers who in 1998 analyzed the results of 61 different studies put the average sex offense recidivism rate at 13.4 percent over four to five years. Their research, which has been recognized as authentic by the U.S. Department of Justice, also found that the greatest predictor of recidivism is sexual deviancy, such as having sexual interest in children.
Other studies have raised doubt about the perception that sex offenders are far more likely than other criminals to relapse — one of the main reasons given for putting their photographs and personal information on the Internet. This is one of the reasons why it is important to study the list.
