L.A. gets more sex offenders

Residency restrictions in neighboring cities have forced an influx of sex offenders into Los Angeles, where the difficulty in housing them has led to a spike in homeless parolees, police said Tuesday.C.J. Lin in the Daily News.

Of the 5,100 registered sex offenders living in Los Angeles, about 1,020 - or 20 percent - are on parole or probation and thus prohibited from living within 2,000 feet of schools or parks where children gather, LAPD Detective Diane Webb told the Police Commission.
