You are absolutly right they put distant rules on where you can live but if somebody really wanted to hurt someone it does not matter where you live, a case where i live a person who got out of prison for rape lived out of town and not near a school or a park, came into town grabed a 14 year old girl took her over thirty miles out in the middle of nowhere and raped her and beat her and then dismembered her, now that is a rare case but he did not even live in town, you are giving yourself a false sence of security, the U.S. Government ran a test and found out that the chances for a sex offender to recommit a sex crime was between 3.4-6.5% much lower than murderers and drug dealers and gang members, but yet they are punished the worst and never able to live a decent life, may God forgive you
