NLC Director Discusses Local Sex Offender Ordinances

Richard Whidden spoke on Tuesday, December 6 on behalf of the National Law Center as a panelist for a presentation entitled “Local Government Regulation of Sex Offenders: Balancing Community Safety and Offenders’ Rights.” The 90-minute CLE program was a production of the International Municipal Lawyers Association and Municipal Litigation Reporter and looked at local ordinances regulating residency of registered sex offenders as well as ordinances restricting access of sex offenders to city parks. Other speakers included city attorneys from cities which have enacted such ordinances. A CD-ROM of the full conference will be available for three weeks following the conference.

A Tribute to Law Enforcement Professionals

It has been my honor to serve as Executive Director for the National Law Center for Children and Families. In the past three years, I have learned a great deal. I have met over 700 law enforcement professionals at NLC Protects seminars, I have presented NLC Child Defender of the Month Awards to deserving individuals across the country, and I have read recent studies showing that 1 in 7 children on-line receive a sexual solicitation. Throughout my tenure, news segments and reality television shows have raised the public's attention regarding the threat of sex offenders in the community.
