Notwithstanding (and in part because of) the local nature of registration, the Sex Offender
Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA") was passed in 2006 in order
to strengthen the national network of registration and notification programs and
to establish minimum standards for such systems.

number of sex offenses by people who might otherwise commit them. ”
