Radio station KCLU will broadcast a one-hour documentary called “Not in My Backyard: Sex Offenders on Parole” at 1 and 7 p.m. Thurs., Nov. 19 on 88.3 FM.

The program, produced and reported by KCLU special projects reporter John North, will explore two provisions of “Jessica’s Law”: residency restrictions and Global Positioning System tracking of sex offender parolees.

The documentary also looks at GPS monitoring of sex offender probationers by the Ventura County Probation Department.

The show features interviews with parole agents, probation officers, a California Department of Corrections official, the California Sex Offender Management Board chair and several homeless high-risk sex offender parolees.

According to the professionals who supervise and oversee the management of sex offenders, the stress caused by being homeless increases the risk that they’ll commit another crime.

“Jessica’s Law” restrictions mandate that convicted child molesters cannot live within a halfmile of a school or park where children gather and all other convicted sex offenders can’t live within a lesser distance of 2,000 feet. In many urban areas of the state, these “predator-free zones” preclude most compliant housing, and the sex offender parolees become homeless.
