The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry site provides information on sex offenders identified as having a high risk to reoffend and as dangerous to the community. Unlike some states, Massachusetts makes this clear on the home page. This straightforward approach is evident throughout the site.
The sex offender profiles include a standard physical description that lists age, race, sex, height, weight and hair and eye color. Residence and work addresses are included and clearly identified. Offense information is sparse, offering only the number of offenses, offense name, which was abbreviated in some cases, and the date of conviction.
Search the Massachusetts registry by last name, city name, county, postal code or offenders who are not in compliance with their registration requirements.
Massachusetts offers information for victims, sex offenders and the public, plus legal information. Note: On this page you can also get a list of Level 2 and Level 3 sex offender totals by town.
This site does not have a mapping function.
The Massachusetts site has a simple search function with understandable directions including the ability to input partial names for fields and convenient drop down menus for city and county.

The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry site is easy to search. Profiles offer less detail than found on most higher ranked sites. Like other state sex offender registries in this area of the ranking, Massachusetts should add offense details and an interactive map to make this a more effective resource for its residents.
