THE MAKO/Files Online are a FREE PUBLIC SERVICE

In Australia the general Public (YOU) are NOT provided with access to Sex Offender Registries by the Federal or State government/s..
Most of you agree would with us that jail is the best place for convicted sex offenders..the FACT is that many live in unsuspecting communities including near schools/playgrounds etc..


Its no secret that sex offenders especially paedophiles are likely to re/offend so Public AWARENESS is very IMPORTANT to PREVENTION ??

The 'MAKO/Files' online are Australia's 1st " FREE PUBLIC" Paedophile/Sex offender registry,and currently list/ name hundreds of offenders nationwide, (NOT a complete Australian list of offenders) with more offenders being added on a regular basis.. 98+% of offenders listed in the MAKO/Files Online and MAKO/Files Online- (Within The Church) have been convicted by a court of law.
(The MAKO/Files Online also lists Child Killers and individuals convicted of other forms of child abuse/NOT only child sexual abuse)

A typical Online MAKO/File (offenders file) may include the offenders name,age (2008), photo where possible, occupation, offence-s committed, sentence received by the court, and last known location-
(last known location is taken from time of offenders offence/ sentence, unless otherwise stated).

AWARENESS = PREVENTION..
Not only can the MAKO/Files online be used by the Australian PUBLIC to better protect themselves and their CHILDREN/ families from proven sex offenders, they have many other benefits, including..


DETERRING some offenders = yet another form of prevention..

+ being a useful resource for Australian and overseas Companies-businesses-organisations to assist with screening potential employees/volunteers etc..
+ a useful resource for media outlets/journalists/Investigators/researchers etc..
+ a useful method of constantly lobbying Australian Government/s and politicians to do more to protect the PUBLIC from sexual predators.
"Tougher sentencing for offenders,greater government funding for prevention/ victim assistance and public sex offender registries would be a good foundation to work from."
