Preferred term

monitoring of sex offenders

Given the recidivism of many sexual offenders, there is increased pressure for monitoring sexual offenders who are on probation and even those who have served their terms to see that they avoid areas (some of which are forbidden to them) near schools or in neighborhoods with lots of children.
