  Short gamma ray bursts have been observed a variety of galaxies types with
varying angular offsets from the centre of their host galaxies. To investigate
the properties of short gamma ray burst offsets, a sample of short gamma ray
bursts with host galaxies has been gathered. Two formation channels proposed to
explain the observed offsets of short gamma ray bursts from their host galaxies
are discussed. The classification of short gamma ray bursts into these
formation channels is demonstrated for short gamma ray bursts with host
galaxies. The possibility of faint dwarf galaxies as host environments for the
observed short gamma ray bursts is also investigated. However, by extrapolating
the distribution of dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way to redshifts
corresponding to the short gamma ray bursts, we show that it is unlikely that
dwarf galaxies are the hosts of short gamma ray bursts.
