Abstract:
As restrictions grow more far-reaching, released sex offenders have begun to push back against harsh regulatory structures that delineate where they can live. This article examines a particular case in San Diego County, California in which residency restrictions allowed the county to make large areas of urban and suburban San Diego, including virtually all of the downtown area, completely off-limits to sex offenders.Keywords: In re E.J., 47 Cal.4th 1258, 1263 (2010); In re Taylor, 60 Cal.4 th 1019 (2015); Jessica’s Law; Prison Law Office v.
