2015 California:Abstract:
This research attempted to clarify the determinants of registered sex offender violations using individual-level and contextual characteristics under social disorganization theory.
Data on registered sex offenders in Fresno County, CA and census data were analyzed to examine the influences of offender characteristics, neighborhood disadvantage, and accessibility to social services on violation risks.
Multilevel logistic regression models indicated that those offenders living in disadvantaged neighborhoods faced a higher risk of registration violations, while such an effect was mitigated by the accessibility to social services.
Based on the findings, policy implications of social services as a protective factor and strategic management of the registration policies were discussed. ..Full Source.. by Donna M. Snow, George Kikuchi,* and Jason Kissner
