Utah's sex offenders and their victims
Today's D-News began a four-part series on this plague infecting Utah. Something I noticed:

I did a sex offender search on the web last summer. Someone on CB posted a link and a discussion ensued on this topic.
I did a search of my own zip code here in OC, plus one other. I then did a zip code of just the city where my in-laws live in Utah. There were more registered sex offenders in that one city than in my entire zip code and neighboring zip code. And it wasn't even close. Yikes.

No matter how it is sliced, Utah has an inordinate amount of sex offenders. Very odd phenomenon.

The "preying on Mormon kids theory" isnt necessarily the accurate tale of the tape, given that a majority on the offender list are already released and back in the community, having committed their crimes in other states. Also, if the "mormon kids" theory were accurate, why would the state release so many offenders right into the very community that houses these kids? As I stated before, many, if not most, come from other areas....they arent from Utah, per se. I am not sure of the answer, but it would seem that at least part of the reason there are so many located in Utah Co is because it is cheaper to re-lo parolees where the cost of living is less and where the community is less likely to put up political pressure to oppose such a presence within the community. Housing for offenders is a classic NIMBY issue. I just dont see the fine folks of American Fork galvanizing against this kind of dilemma. My in-laws werent even aware so many lived amongst them and didnt want to acknowledge it. I think that is why you dont see too many relocated sex offenders in South Orange County, palisades, etc.....too expensive to house them there and too much cash to assert political pressure on those making the decisions as to where to house these people. For that matter, i doubt there will be that many registered sex offenders living on the East Bench, either.

What exactly is sex offender treatment? I really don't have a clue. My way would be to castrate the male and then drop him off on an Arctic Island with no supplies.

Also in my zipcode in Cottonwood Heights there are: 32 Registered Sex Offenders.
That's scary in such a small zip code.
