Hiding in plain sight.That's the goal of sex offenders and child abusers as they seek to commit their crimes without fear of detection. Offenders do so by exploiting society's lack of understanding about how these crimes occur and our failure to acknowledge that sex crimes and child abuse occur in every one of our communities. With improved knowledge and education, officers can be better equipped to identify the behavioral characteristics of the offender with the ultimate goal of holding offenders accountable and protecting the innocent.
