“…In Yeh's study (Yeh 2015), a GIS-based hedonic model demonstrated that, in Nebraska, (registered) sex offenders living within a 0.1-mile radius decrease property value by 4% on average. According to her study, news about such attacks do not provide a demonstrable stigma relating to the attacks' neighbourhoods, but sex offenders in the mandatory and publicly available register do have an effect on the real estate market.…”

Stigmatized property is real estate burdened with an external negative effect. Individual cases are spread along a broad spectrum, along many dimensions that include the rational and the irrational, the acute and the chronic. Examples for the stigmatizing effect are a nearby airport, ground water contaminated by chemicals, presence of a high-voltage power line, and so on. Evaluation of these properties needs special methodology. Stigma can reduce the property's market value through a particular, multi-layered filter. The author systematically examines the professional literature's cases of evaluation of stigmatized properties. The research aims to organize and compare the cases in order to calculate the market value of stigmatized properties. Based on the analysis, six significant dimensions are identified. A focus group of 19 experts examined and individually evaluated the stigmatizing effects along these different dimensions. The author suggests that it is possible to estimate the stigma's effect and compare different cases to one another effectively. The results allow the international methodology of valuation to be processed.

“…Due to the stigmatizing nature of the sex offender label, it comes to no surprise that residents are unwilling to reside near RSOs given that depressed home sale values were associated with nearby RSOs (Bian et al, 2013;Caudill et al, 2014;Larsen et al, 2003;Linden & Rockoff, 2008;Navarro & Rabe-Hemp, 2017;Pope, 2008;Wentland et al, 2014;Yeh, 2015). At the same time, community members are grossly unaware of the presence of RSOs within their communities (Anderson & Sample, 2008;Burchfield, 2012;Craun, 2010;Kernsmith, Comartin, et al, 2009;Lieb & Nunlist, 2008;Phillips, 1998; see Beck & Travis, 2006).…”

“…Real estate markets in various jurisdictions have been compromised in the form of depressed home selling prices as a consequence of the presence of RSOs (Bian, Brastow, Waller, Stoll, & Wentland, 2013;Caudill, Affuso, & Yang, 2014;Larsen, Lowrey, & Coleman, 2003;Linden & Rockoff, 2008;Navarro & Rabe-Hemp, 2017;Pope, 2008;Wentland, Waller, & Brastow, 2014;Yeh, 2015)-referred to as the RSOhome sale value research in the present study. However, existent within each of these publications are methodological issues that were not assessed.…”

“…These legal acts of discrimination prompted a variety of adverse effects (better known as collateral consequences) for RSOs. Primary among the collateral consequences faced by convicted sex offenders is their relegation into socially disadvantaged communities (Burchfield & Mingus, 2008;Clark & Duwe, 2015;Craun, 2010;Gordon, 2013;Hipp et al, 2010;Huebner et al, 2013;Hughes & Burchfield, 2008;Hughes & Kadleck, 2008;Mustaine, Tewksbury, & Stengel, 2006b;Mustaine & Tewksbury, 2011b; see also Yeh, 2015;Sloas, Steele, & Hare, 2012;Socia, 2011Socia, , 2012aSocia, , 2016Socia, Levenson, Ackerman, & Harris, 2015;Socia & Stamatel, 2012;Suresh, Mustaine, Tewksbury, & Higgins, 2010;Tewksbury & Mustaine, 2006Tewksbury, Mustaine, & Rolfe, 2016). Another act of discrimination included banishment into the outskirts of the main metropolitan cities (Berenson & Appelbaum, 2011;Chajewski & Mercado, 2009;see Huebner et al, 2013; see also Socia, 2011Socia, , 2012aZandbergen & Hart, 2006).…”

A cross-sectional exploration of household financial reactions and homebuyer awareness of registered sex offenders in a rural, suburban, and urban county. As stigmatized persons, registered sex offenders betoken instability in communities. John Charles NavarroDepressed home sale values are associated with the presence of registered sex offenders even though the public is largely unaware of the presence of registered sex offenders.Using a spatial multilevel approach, the current study examines the role registered sex offenders influence sale values of homes sold in 2015 for three U.S. counties (rural, suburban, and urban) located in Illinois and Kentucky within the social disorganization framework. Homebuyers were surveyed to examine whether awareness of local registered sex offenders and the homebuyer's community type operate as moderators between home selling prices and the distance to the nearest registered sex offender.Registered sex offenders were not associated with home sale values after accounting for neighborhood characteristics. Urban homebuyers were most likely to be aware of local registered sex offenders. The homebuyers' proximity to the nearest registered sex offenders is not related to the awareness of nearby registered sex offenders. Non-urban and urban homebuyers who are aware tend to reside further from registered sex offenders and buy higher priced homes, whereas unaware homebuyers seemingly buy homes without the consideration of nearby registered sex offenders. The importance of neighborhood characteristics in a spatial multilevel framework and the effects of sex vi offender policies are highlighted.
