The Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center released a report challenging Minnesota\u2019s allocation of sexual violence prevention resources, with a particular focus on the harms and missed opportunities caused by the extraordinarily disproportionate allocation of resources to Sex Offense Civil Commitment (\u201cSOCC\u201d) and the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (\u201cMSOP\u201d). The report recommends that\u00a0SOCC laws be repealed, and that MSOP be sunset, so that the $112 million\/year budget be reinvested in a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to sexual violence.
