has abstract	Families Advocating an Intelligent Registry, also known as USA FAIR, Inc., is a non-profit organization based in Washington D.C. It is part of the growing movement to reform sex offender laws in the United States. USA FAIR seeks to educate the public on issues related to sex offender registries by focusing on the national news media, being a reliable contact for journalists to reach people who can speak of the issues first-hand, and holding them accountable for inaccurate coverage. USA FAIR was founded by family members of registrants; its members today include former offenders and allies from legal, social justice, and treatment communities. On several occasions, through press releases and letters to editors, USA FAIR has requested corrections to inaccurate stories on sex offender issues. USA FAIR has publicly expressed its concern that highly publicized, violent sex crimes provoke knee-jerk responses in the form of even harsher sex offender laws, while in fact most registrants have little in common with the dangerous predatory offenders. The Executive director of USA FAIR, Shana Rowan was interviewed by WHTVs CNY Central in 2013 in a story covering her personal history and the cause of USA FAIR. In February 2013 USA FAIR publicly condemned Suffolk County's proposal, which was later passed, to award a $2.7 million sex offender management contract to , a non-profit private organization with no experience in sex offender management, to provide monitoring of people required to register with the sex offender registry. USA FAIR called such a contract "government-sanctioned vigilantism", and demanded County Executive Steven Bellone conduct a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find the most qualified organization to provide such service. USA FAIR took the position that if sex offender management was to be done by a private organization, ATSA would be more suitable candidate. The New York affiliate of ACLU agreed with the criticism with USA FAIR. (en)
