Opinions on GIS Applications to Sex Offender Management The crime mapping has been in the research phase since long time, and geomapping of offender residences will add one more step in implementing the crime mapping studies in real time. But, the success or failure rate of this plan will remain in the discussion in the future and present time as several factors such as integrity, privacy, confidentiality, freedom, social welfare, and security and so on will play a great role in implementing the said strategy. The below three opinions are on the proposal of geomapping of offender residences in the society.

But, this in turn, would also be beneficial for the criminals to carry out crime activities within least mapped areas. Also, technology and managerial efforts’ failures are conceivable and it can be crucial in certain circumstances. Similarly, judges’ plan for placing yard signs is somewhat raise negative signal in the criminals, who wants to overcome his guilt.
