The Town finds and declares that sex offenders are a serious
threat to public safety. When convicted sex offenders reenter society,
they are much more likely than any other type of offender to be rearrested
for a new sexually based crime. Given the high rate of recidivism
for sex offenders, and that reducing opportunity and temptation is
important to minimizing the risk of reoffense, there is a need to
protect children where they congregate or play in public places in
addition to the protections afforded by state law. The Town finds
and declares that, in addition to schools and day-care centers, children
congregate or play in a number of public places, including public
parks and other facilities for children. It is the intent of this
chapter to serve the Town's compelling interest to promote, protect,
and improve the health, safety, and welfare of Town citizens by creating
areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated
numbers wherein certain sexual offenders are prohibited from entering
or establishing residency.
