Official California Report to the Legislature and Govenor's Office

Section 3: SEX OFFENDER RECIDIVISM (pdf)

Data at a Glance

• 3.55% of sex offenders on parole with CDCR had committed new sex offenses by the time the conclusion of their three-year parole period.

• A ten-year follow-up study of 879 sex offenders in the state of Ohio reported that when using sex offense conviction as the outcome measurement, of 34 % of sex offenders who have re-offended, only 8 % were re-committed for a new sex crime, plus 3 % for a technical violation judged to be related to a potential new sex crime, while the other 22% reoffended for non-sexual offenses.

Solid information about the recidivism of sex offenders is one of the key building blocks for good policy and effective practice in sex offender management. If it were not for the concern that an identified sex offender may offend again in the future and create another victim, the questions about how to best manage sex offenders living in California communities would not be of such intense interest. Knowing how likely it is that an individual sex offender or a certain type of sex offender might re-offend can drive many decisions. Similarly, knowing what interventions actually reduce the chances that a sex offender will re-offend is also extremely important.

Existing data indicates that the majority of sex offenders do not re-offend sexually over time (Harris & Hanson, 2004). Additionally, research studies over the past two decades have consistently indicated that recidivism rates for sex offenders are, in reality, lower than the re-offense rates for most other types of offenders. In a longitudinal study that followed 4,742 known sex offenders over a period of 15 years, 24% were charged with or convicted of, a new sexual offense (Harris & Hanson, 2004). The U.S. Department of Justice found that 5% of 9,691 sex offenders released from prisons in 1994 were re-arrested for new sex crimes within three years. Recent research data from California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation indicate that fewer than 4% of the convicted sex offenders released to parole in 2003 were returned for a new sex offense over the course of a three year period of living in the community under parole supervision (CDCR Research, 2007).

Yea less that 4% re-offend. So why all the hype over what sex offenders will or won’t do? Drunk drivers re-offend all the time and we don’t see much hysteria over them. Sex offenders are humans with problems that CAN be cured and controlled. We send drunk drivers to jail and welcome them back into society. We say we’re hard on sex offenders because they seem to target kids. Well drunk drivers also hurt and kill kids. Do we have deep inner skeletons that need to be dealt with concerning sex offenses? Murderers, gang members and drunk drivers are all dangerous people, but yet we only monitor sex offenders. I think it’s time we look in the mirror and rethink what we’re doing to these people. Who’s next on the list for discrimination and segregation? Welcome to America, the land of the free.

Everybody researching sex offense stats in the US eventually runs across http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsorp94.pdf but how come no one ever talks about a very real statistic found in Page 1:Highlights:paragraph 3 - During the study 517 sex offenders were rearrested for sex crimes and 3,328 non-sex offending felons were arrested for sex crimes, the sex offenders accounted for only 7.4% of the arrests for sex offenses during the study. This might indicate a flaw in the penal system as there seem to be more sex offenders coming out than there are going in.

I thank Kittyhavavencl for her comment. my name is Gary , I fell in love with a child 25 plus years ago. It took along time to get over the love for her. I was the happiest man at the time. Some one loved me. But later on I turned myself in. That child cried so much when I left so did I. I got Gail, probation, two account xcause it extended into another count. I grw up know ,when I was was a kid for 19 years I was syho kept in basement staved sand called the devil. I did not get disciplined for what I did wrong but for being born. So with that said living in Wisconsin, Walker can give me death. I had on son four wonderful Grandchinldren, I love them . I gave them all up give me death,Amen
