摘要

Residence restrictions are one of the most recent, and controversial, public policies seeking to protect community members from RSOs reentering society following incarceration. These policies prohibit RSOs from living within a given distance of certain places where children might gather. The expectation is that RSOs will have a harder time finding and approaching children whom they can sexually assault, thus driving recidivism rates down. These policies, first passed in 1995 at the state level and in 2005 at the county/local level, have become popular in the United States, but without proof of effectiveness. The research on these policies has been limited, and largely focused on the unintended consequences that these policies cause for RSOs, typically as a result of reduced housing options. This study addresses this lack of research by examining: the characteristics of counties passing these policies, the efficacy of county residence restrictions to reduce sex crime rates in New York State, whether these policies are associated with the spatial distribution of RSO residences in upstate New York neighborhoods, and whether this spatial distribution is in turn associated with differences in county-level recidivistic sex crime rates. This study draws on a number of diverse literatures, including the diffusion of policy innovations, incapacitation and deterrence theories, reentry and rehabilitation research, and the conceptualization and measurement of the spatial distribution of ex-offender residences.
