Sex Offender Map: Enfield Homes to be Aware of This Halloween

There are 51 registered sex offenders living in Enfield as of October 2015, according to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry.

Markers on the map represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes.

More than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12-years-old.

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
