The child sex offender disclosure scheme allows parents, carers and guardians to formally ask the police to tell them if someone has a record for child sexual offences. If this is just your neighbour then there is no way of finding out I am afraid. Unlike the US where you can see where all sex offenders lives.
Due to the British people not being able to control themselves they spoil it for genuine people. There is some more info at: http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/crime/child... I would suggest that if you see or hear anything that concerns you then to contact the local police or crime stoppers. All the best :-).
Criminal Records Database: https://wikimedia.im/background-checks Public records are named so because these are records that are meant to be obtained by public and when you say "public", it could be anyone. Public records can be used by anyone for investigations and other things like genealogy, verifications, and free background check. When you say it is public, there is no need to ask permission to the person who is named on the records or the person that you are investigating.
You also do not need to ask permission from the government if you want to obtain such records by social security number. All you have to do is to visit them and follow the process of requesting the public records and then wait for the records to be ready for pick up. Once you already have the records that you need, you are now ready to perform a free background check.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
