This 2003 report to the Minn. Legislature by the state’s Dept. of Corrections regarding community placement of high-risk sex offenders discusses a number of issues, including housing these men. It concludes (among other things) that residential proximity to potential (child) victims is unrelated to recidivism risk and that imposing such restrictions unnecessarily complicates the work of corrections staff attempting to reintegrate these men into communities. It recommends against imposing such restrictions.
