The Registry shows that none of these sex offenders are sexual predators. In Minnesota, convicted predatory offenders also are subject to certain mandatory sentencing laws that are designed to minimize their chances of re-offend.
According to a study by SafeHome.org, 18,877 registered sex offenders were living in the state as of August 2024. This translates to roughly 331 offenders per 100,000 residents.
Another study by the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center revealed that Minnesota spends over $100 million annually on the Sex Offense Civil Commitment (SOCC) program, which primarily aims to prevent recidivism among sex offenders in the state.
