Englewood 2019 Sex Offender Safety Information

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take an inventory of who is living in your neighborhood. Englewood and Englewood Cliffs have 11 registered sex offenders listed on the New Jersey State Police Sex Offender Registry.

The registry allows users to search for offenders by addresses, names, cities, those who are non-compliant with authorities, and by internet names or email addresses.

Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries can play only a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child.

The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

The Justice Department estimates 60 percent of perpetrators are known to the child but are not family members but rather family friends, babysitters, child care providers and others, and 30 percent of child victims are abused by family members. Nearly a quarter of the abusers are under the age of 18, the department estimates.
