Are criminals really living in your neighborhood? There are some AMAZING sites that can help you find this out. I’ve done quite a research and made a list with a description. Almost 100% of the sites are free, by the way. Let’s get started.
1. Criminal Searches
Description: Most of these ‘neighborhood watchdog’ services search for only sexual offender. This is a different service. They search for thieves, violent offenders, murderers and con artists. Very, very powerful service. I would say they are maybe #1 in this field.
Example of search results:
2. Family Watchdog
Description: This is the official national sex offender registry. The most reliable service for checking for this type of offense. You can also subscribe to free alerts there, which I consider to be a very good option if you want to keep a close eye at what’s happening in your neighborhood.

3. Crime Reports
Description: Great site to see what’s going on in your neighborhood in terms of criminal activity. You can then take this data and do further research by entering the incident into a search engine like Google News and so on. Overall, this is an excellent starting point for seeing criminal activity. They also offer an option to separate sexual offenders from all other types of criminals.
Example of search results:
4. Felon Spy
Description: You’ve probably noticed that all of the services above work for United States only. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any decent European criminal search engine (there are attempts to make progress in this area). Felon Spy is one of these websites that is currently searching only on US territory and also have efforts to expand in Europe too. Overall, it isn’t much different from the previous services except for this feature and that’s why I thought they are worth mentioning.
Example of search results:
5. Neighborhood Scout
Description: You have some really interesting statistics here about every neighborhood. What’s interesting is, you can compare two neighborhoods nationwide. They get their statistics from various government agencies and use some complex algorithms to give you really interesting data.
