Sex Offender Registry
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising campus community members where information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.
Persons convicted of certain sex offenses are required by law to register with the State. Information on registered sex offenders is available, for locations where Northwestern University has an established campus (excluding Qatar), at the following websites:
- Illinois State Police
- Chicago Police Department Sex Offender Database
- Florida Department of Law Enforcement Sexual Offenders and Predators Search
- Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Sex Offender Registry
The Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website is also a source for sex offender information.
For information on registered sex offenders attending or employed at Northwestern University, on the Chicago or Evanston campus, contact the local police department near the campus of interest.
