Overview
What data is available to assess and determine the likelihood of a female sexual offender being arrested, charged, convicted, or incarcerated after her initial conviction?
Summary
Key to the assessment of any offender, particularly sexual offenders, are recidivism rates. One main issue when it comes to assessing the recidivism of female sexual offenders is that there are currently no reliable and validated actuarial risk assessment measures that can be used on women who commit sex crimes.
