Some local communities--desperate to do more to protect innocent children--are passing residency restriction laws to ban sex offenders from living in most dense urban areas. But pushing sex offenders into rural areas without placing them under close surveillance and containment won't solve the problem. The vast majority of sexual abuse is committed by adults the victim already knows... not by strangers lurking in parks. Local governments that really want to make children safer should join together and demand tough, meaningful legislation from their state legislatures.

Known predatory pedophiles belong in prison, where they cannot gain access to children. But if and when they are released, they must be put under close surveillance and containment, not just sex offender registration. That means long-term and lifetime probation and parole, with stringent, court-ordered restrictions that are enforced by highly-trained, specialized teams of agents. You can read more about this Real Safety approach in Promise to Protect's Child Safety Resolution and companion brochure (see links above).

What is a child's safety worth to you? Intensive surveillance and containment costs more than sex offender registration. But it is far cheaper than prison. We believe the vast majority of Americans--no matter what their political party or beliefs--would gladly pay what it takes to know that sex offenders living in our communities are being closely monitored and restricted by law enforcement.
