where did you get your source?
"Rehabilitaion which almost NEVER works?"
I just proved you wrong
Within 3 years following their release, 5.3% of sex offenders (men who had committed rape or sexual assault) were rearrested for another sex crime.
I have my source
Recidivism of Sex Offenders Released from Prison in 1994
do a google (html link not allow here)
A study at Johns Hopkins University showed that of sex offenders who are sociopaths 85 percent violently re-offend. Almost 97 percent of child sex offenders are clinical sociopaths.
Do you want to keep going? You will lose. I have studied this issue more than almost anyone in the state of Utah.
I respectfully disagree with your statistics. There are countless studies much more current and accurate than the one done in 1999. In fact why is is that almost all experts in this field, the ones who work with the victims and the offenders, all are saying the same thing: These sex offender laws are just a placebo and give a false sense of security. They do not prevent sex offenses. I'm not going to argue with you because it is obvious you are not willing to listen to any points that go against your beleifs. I would just say, do a little more research, with an open mind and see what you find out.
