This will differ based on where you live. As far as I know there is no federal statute stating where a sex offender can or can not reside. Go to your County's website for starters. Usually, sex offenders have to live a certain distance from schools and public parks, but it all depends on your state and local laws.

Actually there is nowhere where a sex offender can't live, but they are required to register with the city they are moving into. I am not exactly sure how it is handled if they move near a school, or somewhere else where they can be exposed to their particular form of obsession. Personally I think they should have to have permanent signs posted in their yards..but that's just me...You can however, at any time check the list in your neighborhood.

It depends on the state. Most states have limits on sex offenders who are on probation or parole. People who have been on the registry for a long time (California goes back to 1947) are usually not limited because they're already paid their consequences. California will vote on Prop. 83, and even though voters will adopt, legal challenges are already being planned. Many legal experts say two of the provisions within the initiative are unconstitutional: GPS for up to 70,000 offenders, and make all sex offenders (104,000) move 2,000 feet from schools and parks. It's one thing for Iowa with 6,000 child molesters only to move from schools and parks. It's another thing for a big state like California with this many offenders (they have that many because they have been registering for 60 years) to move. The state prison department estimated the housing costs for parolees alone is $134 million annually. GPS is expected to cost millions more; enforcement and imprisonment millions more.
In Georgia, all sex offenders (Levels 1-3) are not allowed to live 1,000 feet from where children congregate (a dozen different types of facilities). But it's being challenged, because it has essentially chased all sex offenders and their families from the state (or will if the US SC upholds it). It's extreme NIMBYism.

Not really, some states do not restrict offenders very much and some are so restrictive that their laws drive them out into suburbs.
California is voting on such a law this coming Tuesday that will restrict them from living within 2000 feet of a park or school.
in most communities that would force offenders to move.
Out into the suburbs where they will most likely not register for fear of neighborhood backlash.

Give it a rest. I'm tired of hearing about sex offenders. You want to know why? I looked at the US department of justice website cause I was curious. 90% of people who commit these sort of crimes are friends and family. You know what that means? The guy in your living room is statistically more likely going to molest you or your kids than the guy down the street. Make sure your own house is ok before you look at others.

Sex offenders can live in any town, any state in our country. They just cant live near schools or parks where there is playground equipment. there's a website where you can get a map of any neighborhood and where the sex offenders in it live. i think it is familywatchdog.us
