False Sense of Security (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665718707)

This book illustrates why sex offender residency restrictions are ineffective in preventing children from becoming victims of sexual victimization. The rationale adopted by many in our society is that if we restrict sex offenders from living near schools, playgrounds, and parks, children will be protected from victimization. The book explains why this is a false sense of security and does little to protect children.
