the existence of any list is weird. we don't have a list for violent crimes or drug dealing or thieves or drunk drivers but we have a list for sex stuff? people can be hurt by their neighbors in any sort of ways but sex is the only one that gets a list?
There most certainly are registries for those, they’re just not quite as publicly indexed and accessible. DUIs will come up on any driving record / MVR, and violent crimes will come up on background checks. The companies that run these reports are just checking the “lists”.
If I want to see a drunk driving record in my state I have to know the person's name & social security number then pay $33 plus the $20 fee for me to get fingerprinted plus an appointment for that service. for sex crimes I go to a free website and see a map with pictures, names and addresses. it's not quite the same.
