The mission of the Sex Offender Registry Board is to promote public safety through educating and informing the public in order to help prevent further victimization. This is accomplished by registering and classifying, by risk of re-offense and degree of danger, convicted sex offenders and disseminating the identifying information of those offenders, who live, work and attend institutions of higher learning in the communities of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through the maintenance of both a database and a public website. Chapter 74 of the Acts of 1999, codified as M.G.K.c6, §178C-178O, established the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB) and set forth its responsibilities and authority. The mission of the SORB is to assess the risk of every sex offender in Massachusetts and to disseminate information to the public based on those assessments about sex offenders who pose a risk of reoffense. Board members’ roles are integral to this mission. Each member of the Sex Offender Registry Board participates in classifying sex offenders in accordance with the level of risk to reoffend presented by the offender. Board Members will assess information gathered by Board staff, complete recommended classifications, conduct evidentiary hearings for offenders who request one, in which the offender and his/her attorney will present evidence, and write detailed findings resulting from those hearings. Board members may participate in other tasks or projects as assigned to further the mission of the agency.
