We examined the long-term recidivism rates of 197 child molesters released from prison between 1958 and 1974. Overall, 42% of the total sample were reconvicted for sexual crimes, violent crimes, or both, with 10% of the total sample reconvicted 10-31 years after being released. Incest offenders were reconvicted at a slower rate than were ...
Yet wide variations in the recidivism rate for sexual offenders have been reported. Furby, Weinrott and Blackshaw (1989) reviewed studies reporting sexual recidivism rates ranging from 0% to over 50%.
We address the high variability in sex offender recidivism rates by examining several of the critical methodological differences that underlie this variability. We used a dataset on 251 sex offenders (136 rapists and 115 child molesters) who were discharged over a 25-year period to examine changes in recidivism as a function of changes in dispositional definition of reoffense (e.g., arrest or ...
Addressed the high variability in sex offender recidivism rates by examining several of the critical methodological differences that underlie this variability. A dataset on 251 male sex offenders (136 rapists and 115 child molesters) who were discharged over a 25-yr period was used to examine changes in recidivism as a function of changes in dispositional definition of reoffense (e.g., arrest ...
