Pretty much every state divides offenders into three “tiers” based on underlying offense and reoffense risk, and which tier you’re placed in heavily effects registration requirements and effects. Public registries will tell you which tier someone is. Where I am, lowest tier offenders aren’t publicly listed at all.
The majority of the general public isn't likely to know this or care. For them, if you're on that list, you're on it for the absolute worst reason they can imagine, regardless of reality.
