• The next highest recidivism rates are found among child molesters who offend against boys (13 to 40 percent). • The recidivism rates of rapists (7 to 35 percent) are similar to the rates of child molesters who offend against girls (10 to 29 percent). • Incest offenders generally have the lowest recidivism rates (4 to 10 percent).

Nov 1, 2000 · The cumulative sexual, violent and general criminal recidivism rate was 6.4%, 12.4%, and 26.7%, respectively.

Comparatively lower recidivism rates have been found for rapists, child molesters who victimize girls, and incest offenders.
In contrast, extrafamilial child molesters showed relatively little reduction in recidivism risk until after the age of 50. The recidivism rate of intrafamilial child molesters was generally low (less than 10 percent), except for the intrafamilial offenders in the 18- to 24-year-old age group, whose recidivism risk was comparable to that of ...
