1 risk factors that could potentially make the offender more
2 likely to pose a danger to others:
3 1. Previous conviction for domestic violence;
4 2. History of substance abuse;
5 3. Unemployment or substantial financial difficulties;
6 4. Previous conviction for violence or sex acts
7 against children, particularly involving strangers; or
8 5. Any other risk factor identified by the department.
9 (2) Recognizing that a sex offender having an
10 extensive criminal history and multiple risk factors may pose
11 a serious threat to the community, the department shall
12 consider the cumulative impact of these risk factors and, if
13 necessary, place an offender under a high level of supervision
14 until the situation stabilizes and the department no longer
15 believes that the offender poses a threat to others. In
16 providing such supervision, the department shall increase the
17 number of office and home visits conducted by the correctional
18 probation officer; expand the number of and type of
19 employment, family, community, and neighborhood contacts by
20 the correctional probation officer; increase voluntary
21 referrals to available community mental health facilities and
22 community assistance programs; develop emergency communication
23 plans for law enforcement agencies and the court in order to
24 quickly detain the offender in response to a violation; and
25 prioritize departmental resources in order to more closely
26 monitor the offender's activities in an effort to prevent
27 escalating criminal behavior.
28 (3) To facilitate the information available to the
29 court at first appearance hearings and at all subsequent
30 hearings for these high-risk sex offenders, the department
31 shall, no later than March 1, 2006, post on the Internet a

8 the necessary technology in the courtroom to deliver the
