New York May Weigh Sex Offender Act

Submitted by David Hess, Aug 8, 2008 00:56

Referring to those "who are raping little kids," Mark Klass commented: "The public should know who this highly recidivist individual is so they could use this information to protect themselves." I agree that the public should know who the highly recidivist individuals are. The fact is that the vast majority of registered sex offenders do not repeat their crimes. A recent New York study found that 8% of sex offenders were arrested for another sex offense within 8 years of their initial date of registration.
