“Child safety zones are being passed more and more at the city and county level,” said Elizabeth Jeglic, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “It’s becoming more and more restrictive. They’re not only limiting where sex offenders can live, but they’re limiting their movement as well.”

The proliferation of such restrictions reflects the continued concerns of parents and lawmakers about potential recidivism among sex offenders. But it has also increasingly raised questions about their effectiveness, as well as their fairness.

Opponents have dismissed “child safety zones” as unenforceable, saying they are designed to make politicians look tough on crime and drive sex offenders from the area, not make children safer.

Irene Pai, a lawyer with the Orange County public defender’s office, said “child safety zones” give parents a false sense of security, punishing many offenders who are not dangerous without actually stopping predators from entering parks.

在附近的戴纳波恩特市，他们被禁止在海港钓鱼。

如果他们无意间走进米申维埃荷市的公园，他们可能会被送上船去蹲6个月监狱，因为市议会今年投票通过一个法案，禁止性侵犯者踏足儿童聚集的多个地方。

橘子郡的地方检察官托尼•拉考卡斯书告诉米申维埃荷市议会说：“我们需要保护我们的小孩。危险非常真实地存在着。”
