In other words, "something must be done, and this is something, so it must be done".

I worry, in fact, that residency restrictions might have <a href="http://lpd304.blogspot.com/2009/06/nij-conference.htmlz" rel="nofollow">unintended consequences</a> that are not good. I think we primarily have such laws as a means of making people feel a little better about the ugly truth that there are over 500 convicted sex offenders living in our City, and tens of thousands around the country. Not that making people feel a little better is a bad thing (particularly when it is a minor inconvenience for the registered sex offender).Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-62890449995633560812014-05-09T08:38:11.222-05:002014-05-09T08:38:11.222-05:00Is there any evidence to suggest that this ordinan...Is there any evidence to suggest that this ordinance has any effect on the number of sexual assaults on children? I'm not necessarily opposed to it, in fact I don't care if you kick the perverts out of town all together. I just wonder if the ordinance is anything more than a "feel good" effort by the city to make people think they are safer.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.com
