More Than A Quarter Of Boston’s Registered Sex Offenders Are Homeless

February 21, 2019, 1:09 pm

Boston is grappling with a homeless offender problem.  This, in spite of the fact that the state’s Supreme Court struck down residency restrictions in 2015.

According to the Sex Offender Registry Board, Boston Police are trying to address the problem. They currently have a federal grant to help cover overtime costs so officers can check up on homeless sex offenders. The Registry Board says it “…works closely with local and state police to provide them with accurate and timely information that helps police officers determine whether a homeless offender is in violation of their requirement to register.”

How much does that cost?
