In 2013 a study completed for Louisville Kentucky by Eric S. McCord and Richard <br /> Tewksbury found- <br /> ... sexually oriented businesses are associated with much higher rates of <br /> all types of offenses in the immediate vicinity of the business and continue <br /> to have significant effects on crime levels as one moves further from the <br /> business. <br /> Secondary impacts can include increased levels of crime, sexual deviance, prostitution, <br /> and negative economic consequences for surrounding properties. The study can be <br /> viewed by utilizing the following link- <br /> http://secondaEle ectsresearch.com/files/ cCord°/®20and°/®20Tewksbury,°/®202013.pdf. <br /> A 2011 study, entitled The AssociAT/oN of Adult Businesses with Secondary Effects. <br /> Legal Doctrine, Social Theory, and Empirical Evidence authored by Alan C. Weinstein <br /> and Richard McCleary made similar findings. This study can be viewed at: <br /> h p://secondaryeffectsresearch.com/files/Cardozo%20Law%20 Review.pdf. <br /> 3. A 1996 report completed by the American Center for Law and Justice found that- <br /> ... SOBs (sexually oriented businesses) support detrimental activities (i.e. <br /> personal and property crimes, prostitution, drugs, etc.) within the vicinity <br /> that are incompatible with activities occurring within residential areas. SOBs <br /> also have a negative impact on local businesses. Evidence indicates that <br /> when SOBs are located near each other or near businesses that serve <br /> alcohol, the harmful impact increases. <br /> A summary of this report can be viewed at: <br /> http://secondarveffectsresearch.com/files/Land°/®20Use°/®20summaryy/®202005.pdf. <br /> 4. A 2005 report completed by Duncan and Associates for Kenton and Campbell Counties <br /> in Kentucky, as well as the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission, found that: <br /> A governmental body's key purpose in regulating sexually oriented <br /> businesses is to mitigate the negative secondary effects. One of the easiest <br /> ways is to ensure that the sexually oriented businesses are located away <br /> from the types of land uses on which they are most likely to have adverse <br /> secondary effects. Zoning is the classic tool for regulating the locations of <br /> various uses and for ensuring that uses that are incompatible are kept <br /> reasonably separate. <br /> This report can be viewed at: <br /> http://secondaryeffectsresearch.com/files/Zoninp°/®20for°/®20Sexually°/®20Oriente <br /> d%20 ntertainment%20and%20 elated%20 usinesses.pdf. <br />
