In the Americas, sexual crimes against minors are increasing every year, which is why countries are on alert, seeking measures for the protection of children and adolescents. Initially, in 1990, Washington enacted the first law on the registration of sex offenders, and several States have joined in implementing this mechanism, in accordance with the legislature of each country in order to fight for the rights of minors. Colombia, also concerned about the high rate of crimes against minors, is implementing a Sex Offenders Registry, which seeks to protect minors, who according to crime rates are targeted by sex offenders.
