| - The Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, colloquially known as the Wetterling Act, is a United States law that requires states to implement a registry of sex offenders and crimes against children. It is named for Jacob Wetterling, a Minnesota eleven-year-old who was abducted by a stranger in 1989, and was missing for almost 27 years until his death was confirmed when his remains were found on September 1, 2016. The law, enacted as part of the Federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, requires states to form registries of offenders convicted of sexually violent offenses or offenses against children, and to form more rigorous registration requirements for sex offenders. States must also verify the addresses of sex offenders annually for at least ten years, and those offenders classified as sexually violent predators must verify their addresses quarterly for the rest of their lives. The Wetterling Act required state compliance by September 1997, with a two-year extension for good faith efforts to achieve compliance; non-compliance would result in a 10% reduction of federal block grant funds for criminal justice. Under this law, states had discretion to disseminate registration information to the public, but dissemination was not required. Congress amended the Wetterling Act in 1996 with Megan’s Law, requiring law enforcement agencies to release information about registered sex offenders that law enforcement deems relevant to protecting the public. Also passed by Congress in 1996 was the . This act requires the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to establish a national database of sex offenders to assist local enforcement agencies in tracking sex offenders across state lines. The Wetterling Act was amended for the final time in 1998 with Section 115 of the General Provisions of Title I of the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (CJSA). The CJSA amendment provided for greater discretion among states for procedures used for contacting registered offenders to keep their addresses updated. Also, the CJSA required offenders to register in a state other than their own if they were there for school, and required federal and military employees to register in their state of residence. (en)
- Ley Wetterling (Wetterling Act en inglés) o Ley Jacob Wetterling de Registro de Delincuentes por Delitos Contra la Infancia y Sexualmente Violentos (Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act en inglés) es una ley de Estados Unidos que obliga a los estados a implementar un registro de delincuentes sexuales y delitos contra la infancia. Se promulgó en el marco de la (Federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 en inglés). La Ley Wetterling obliga a los estados a crear registros de los delincuentes condenados por delitos sexuales violentos o delitos contra la infancia así como la creación de requisitos de registro rigurosos. Por otra parte, los estados deben verificar las direcciones de los delincuentes sexuales una vez al año por lo menos durante diez años, y los depredadores sexuales violentos deben ser verificados cada tres meses de forma permanente. Desde septiembre de 2007 se exige el cumplimiento a los estados, con una prórroga de dos años de esfuerzos de buena fe para logra el cumplimiento, el incumplimiento podría dar lugar a una reducción del 10% de los fondos federales de subvenciones en bloque para la justicia penal. Bajo esta ley, los estados podían elegir difundir la información al público, pero la difusión no era obligatoria. En 1996 el Congreso de Estados Unidos enmendó la Ley Wetterling con la Ley Megan, obligando a las agencias de las fuerzas policiales a difundir públicamente el registro de delincuentes sexuales que estas fuerzas consideren relevantes para proteger a la población. También en 1996 el Congreso aprobó la Ley Pam Lyncher de Seguimiento e Identificación de Delincuentes Sexuales (Pam Lyncher Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act en inglés). Esta ley obliga al FBI a establecer una base de datos nacional de delincuentes sexuales para ayudar a las agencias policiales locales a realizar un seguimiento a los delincuentes sexuales a través de las fronteras estatales. La Ley Wetterling se modificó por última vez en 1998 con la Sección 115 de las Disposiciones Generales del Título I de los Departamentos de Comercio, Justicia y Estado, del Poder Judicial y la Ley de Agencias Relacionadas con Asignaciones (CJSA). La enmienda CJSA pretende permitir una mayor discreción entre los estados para los procedimientos utilizados para ponerse en contacto con los delincuentes registrados para mantener su dirección actualizada. También la CSJA obliga a los delincuentes a registrarse en un estado distinto al suyo si estuvieran ahí para ir al colegio, y obliga a los empleados federales y militares a registrarlos en su estado de residencia.
