your home. Use the State Law Enforcement Division website (www.sled.state.sc.us) to
identify sex offenders in your area.

yours. Include approximate distances whenever possible.
3. Write a brief description of each offender and identify what crime was committed.

of South Carolina). Give me a description of the elements of each crime.
5. Discuss your reaction to these offenders living in your community and what impact their
presence might have on your community. Will you do anything differently knowing that
they are in your neighborhood?
