Here's an article that may help:

Specifically, footnote #3:

Thanks.. but I'm looking for something a less less wordy and something my attorney could actually use in a probation modification.

I can do a search online too. I'll just keep looking. I thought there was one that Levenson did .. I was hoping someone had a quick link. Thanks .. I'm sure I'll find it.

I searched for "levenson recidivism" and found this:

Here's a very brief synopsis of the first document referred to in my first post.

Recidivism Of Sex Offenders Released From Prison In 1994
Matthew R. Durose, Patrick A. Langan, Ph.D., Erica L. Schmitt

November 16, 2003 NCJ 198281

Presents, for the first time, data on the rearrest, reconviction, and reimprisonment of 9,691 male sex offenders, including 4,295 child molesters, who were tracked for 3 years after their release from prisons in 15 States in 1994. The 9,691 are two-thirds of all the male sex offenders released from prisons in the United States in 1994. The study represents the largest followup ever conducted of convicted sex offenders following discharge from prison and provides the most comprehensive assessment of their behavior after release.

Highlights:

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.
On average the 9,691 sex offenders served 3 1/2 years of their 8-year sentence.
Compared to non-sex offenders released from State prisons, released sex offenders were 4 times more likely to be rearrested for a sex crime.
The 9,691 released sex offenders included 4,295 men who were in prison for child molesting.

I know how to use the internet.. Please, It's ok. Wish I could delete this thread. . . I'm on the internet all day. I can do that too. I'll just find exactly what I"m looking for. Sorry to bother anyone. Please don't spend your time searching the internet. thanks

Sheesh! I hardly ever post in this forum any more and the first time I do, I cause distress. I'm sorry!

Honest was only trying to help Nak. This is part of the reason I rarely post on here.

I know you were trying to help. But I'm a bit stressed and I didn't want to really bother her with searching the internet. I found what I was looking for. Here's the link:

http://www.lynn.edu/about-lynn/news-and-events/news/media/2012/11/sex-offender-risk-and-recidivism-in-florida-2012

I appreciate everyone here.. but sometimes I guess I should just keep it to myself. thanks, no hard feelings.

Which ends up to be exactly the link she sent .. so I'm eating crow

You're welcome. No hard feelings here, either.

I'm just really stressed out right now.. like everyone else who has to deal with this stuff. I also like that other link you sent. I need to calm down and pay attention. thanks again.

No problem. I do understand being stressed!

Nak,

The tiering paper and some of the other links here have a lot of good info, including the research by Carl Hanson (shows the Reoffense rates for each type of sex crime). Hopefully your attorney will find this info useful:

Nak and Honest!!! ahhhh, some times i feel just exactly the way your both feel right now! LOL it passes and ends up over the dam and gone.

had one guy ask once about some info, i looked it up and gave him 3 or 4 links he could use. he jumped down my throat as best he could via the internet. but in his case he informed me that all he wanted was the info of what was in the links, not the links. that he was more that capable of looking up links and searching on his own. ???? now that really had me confused!!! how do you get the info without reading the links? LOL
