|---|
| 347 | 347 | | (a) Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use 226 |
|---|
| 348 | 348 | | physical violence, and sexual offenders who pr ey on children are 227 |
|---|
| 349 | 349 | | sexual predators who present an extreme threat to the public 228 |
|---|
| 350 | 350 | | safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical 229 |
|---|
| 351 | 351 | | violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual offenders 230 |
|---|
| 352 | 352 | | commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever 231 |
|---|
| 353 | 353 | | reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their 232 |
|---|
| 354 | 354 | | crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to 233 |
|---|
| 355 | 355 | | society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant. 234 |
|---|
| 356 | 356 | | (b) The high level of threat that a sexual predator 235 |
|---|
| 357 | 357 | | presents to the public safety, and the long -term effects 236 |
|---|
| 358 | 358 | | suffered by victims of sex offenses, provide the state with 237 |
|---|
| 359 | 359 | | sufficient justification to implement a strategy that includes: 238 |
|---|
| 360 | 360 | | 1. Incarcerating sexual predators and maintaining adequate 239 |
|---|
| 361 | 361 | | facilities to ensure that decisions to release sexual predators 240 |
|---|
| 362 | 362 | | into the community are not made on the basis of inadequate 241 |
|---|
| 363 | 363 | | space. 242 |
|---|
| 364 | 364 | | 2. Providing for specialized supervision of sexual 243 |
|---|
| 365 | 365 | | predators who are in the community by specially trained 244 |
|---|
| 366 | 366 | | probation officers with low caseloads, as d escribed in ss. 245 |
|---|
| 367 | 367 | | 947.1405(7) and 948.30. The sexual predator is subject to 246 |
|---|
| 368 | 368 | | specified terms and conditions implemented at sentencing or at 247 |
|---|
| 369 | 369 | | the time of release from incarceration, with a requirement that 248 |
|---|
| 370 | 370 | | those who are financially able must pay all or part of the costs 249 |
|---|
| 371 | 371 | | of supervision. 250 |

|---|
| 382 | 382 | | |
|---|
| 383 | 383 | | |
|---|
| 384 | 384 | | 3. Requiring the registration of sexual predators, with a 251 |
|---|
| 385 | 385 | | requirement that complete and accurate information be maintained 252 |
|---|
| 386 | 386 | | and accessible for use by law enforcement authorities, 253 |
|---|
| 387 | 387 | | communities, and the public. 254 |
|---|
| 388 | 388 | | 4. Providing for co mmunity and public notification 255 |
|---|
| 389 | 389 | | concerning the presence of sexual predators. 256 |
|---|
| 390 | 390 | | 5. Prohibiting sexual predators from working with 257 |
|---|
| 391 | 391 | | children, either for compensation or as a volunteer. 258 |
|---|
| 392 | 392 | | (c) The state has a compelling interest in protecting the 259 |
|---|
| 393 | 393 | | public from sexual predators and in protecting children from 260 |
|---|
| 394 | 394 | | predatory sexual activity, and there is sufficient justification 261 |
|---|
| 395 | 395 | | for requiring sexual predators to register and for requiring 262 |
|---|
| 396 | 396 | | community and public notification of the presence of sexual 263 |
|---|
| 397 | 397 | | predators. 264 |
|---|
| 398 | 398 | | (d) It is the purpose of the Legislature that, upon the 265 |
|---|
| 399 | 399 | | court's written finding that an offender is a sexual predator, 266 |
|---|
| 400 | 400 | | in order to protect the public, it is necessary that the sexual 267 |
|---|
| 401 | 401 | | predator be registered with the department and that members of 268 |
|---|
| 402 | 402 | | the community and th e public be notified of the sexual 269 |
|---|
| 403 | 403 | | predator's presence. The designation of a person as a sexual 270 |
|---|
| 404 | 404 | | predator is neither a sentence nor a punishment but simply a 271 |
|---|
| 405 | 405 | | status resulting from the conviction of certain crimes. 272 |
|---|
| 406 | 406 | | (e) It is the intent of the Legislature t o address the 273 |
|---|
| 407 | 407 | | problem of sexual predators by: 274 |
|---|
| 408 | 408 | | 1. Requiring sexual predators supervised in the community 275 |

| 2606 | 2606 | | especially those who have committed offenses against minors, 1753 |
|---|
| 2607 | 2607 | | often pose a high risk of engaging in sexual offenses even after 1754 |

|---|
| 2610 | 2610 | | government interest. Sexual offenders have a reduced expectation 1757 |
