Even though former sexual offenders have the lowest rate of recidivism among other criminal types, the public remains on the attack to eliminate our rights. I believe that the constant fallacies being fed to the public by media giants attempting to reshape social policy is a disgrace. Even our politicians are afraid to oppose these media giants. Besides, opposing opinions no longer receive equal time or coverage.
The United States Justice Department reports that only 3.3% of former sexual offenders repeat their crimes, and those crimes are usually targeting children 13 or younger. The study covered offenders over a 3 year period. The statistic jumps to 4.7 after 5 years. {I think there are specific circumstances behind that jump}.
The abduction, rape and murder of children are very rare events, yet that's what the media seems to be focusing on to continue to persecute former sexual offenders.
Americans need to reform these new laws to protect everyone's rights. Only responsible legislation and accountability will alleviate the apparent sexual abuse crisis in America. Sexual abuse has been around since the dawn of man. I don't think that eliminating the problem altogether is possible.
I'd like to hear your opinions on this subject, to get a better idea about where others stand on the issues.
