The Village finds and declares that sex offenders
are a serious threat to public safety. When convicted sex offenders
re-enter society, they are much more likely than any other type of
offender to be re-arrested 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 re-offense,
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 Village 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 Village's compelling
interest to promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and
welfare of Village citizens by creating areas around locations where
children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain
sexual offenders are prohibited from entering or establishing residency.
