An interesting companion to this map is the recent development of the first "sex-offender free" community in Lubbock, Texas. Basically its like a closed gate housing development that background checks all of its residents and bars sex offenders... Im not sure if its been succesfull but it makes me worried that it might spread further, to the point where the offenders may be treated as lepers. A little exaggeration, yes, but with this one community the seeds have been sown...
