Overview

Analyzing a Federal Probation report on recidivism rates of child pornography sexual offenders with and without prior offenses as it relates to risk assessment.

Summary

A 2016 Federal Probation Report analyzed data from all Federally convicted sexual offenders who were released from Federal prison from 2007 to 2013.  These individuals were on supervised release. The study specifically assessed the demographics of the offenders as well as their risk of recidivism.  In this study, recidivism was defined as any new arrest for a new crime that occurred after their release from federal custody. It did NOT include technical violations.
