Funded Activity Summary

Housing sex offenders. This project aims to generate important new knowledge on the governance of sex offenders after prison release, specifically in relation to housing. The project intends to enhance understanding of administrative norms regarding released sex offender housing arrangements by comparing processes across jurisdictions in order to identify 'best practice' that can be beneficial for the key stakeholders involved. The findings should help drive the development of sex offender management and housing assistance programs that reduce re-offending and costly repeat contacts with criminal justice services. Intended benefits include insights that inform future housing assistance and a cost-effective reduction of re-offending.
