This exploratory study describes the impact of residence restrictions on sex offender reintegration and informs about sex offenders’ perceptions of these laws. Most indicated that housing restrictions increased isolation, created financial and emotional stress, and led to decreased stability. Respondents also indicated that they did not perceive residence restrictions as helpful in risk management and reported that such restrictions may even inadvertently increase risk by increasing their exposure to stressor than have been shown to trigger reoffenses. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.
