The Impact of Residency Restrictions on Sex Offenders and Correctional Management Practices: A Literature Review

Interesting report from the California Research Bureau:

"The residency of convicted sex offenders released from confinement continues to be an issue of public concern. This report was requested by California Assembly Member Mark Leno, and examines local ordinances and state statutes across the country that restrict where a sex offender may legally live, and the constitutional implications of such restrictions. The report also discusses comprehensive risk assessment tools identified by the latest research. "
