Cohousing-L Mailing List: Background check

[Jeanne Goodman (GoodmanJ]

Are any communities doing background checks on members to check for criminal
backgrounds?

Are there experiences that groups have had where they found they needed to
protect their children from someone in the community?

Does the group have any liability if someone in the group commits a crime
against someone in the larger neighborhood?

What do you do if a community member doesn't feel safe or comfortable around
another community member?

Sorry to bring up such dark subjects, but these things came up in a
conversation I was having with someone and found myself unable to answer
them.
