FAC, thank you for this information sheet. Since education is our first line of attack it will help out very much. If we are so fortunate as to get to discuss our situation(s) with a legislator we must be prepared to educate. From my experience in Washington, we have many bureaucrats in positions of authority who do not have a clue as to their responsibilities and obligations. Many occupy a desk and a bi-weekly paycheck and that is the limit of their concerns.

I love the fact that you have placed a resource sheet out there but having said that. It’s time for a fact check. Your second one down is misleading and incorrect of the new sex crimes that are committed those that are done by first-time offenders, that is people who have their first conviction in a sex crime is not 93% according to the Department of Justice statistics it is 99.973% of the new sex crimes are committed by first-time offenders see graph ( http://sosen.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1994-97-Graph.jpg ). Also the re-offense rate for people on the registry is not 5% or even 3% it is in fact less than 1% the data is out there advocates need to start pushing the fact that people on the registry

1. Have a re-offense rate of less than 1% and

2. Of the new sex crimes they are involved in less than 1%.

Even the latest Department of Justice study when actually looking at the hard numbers shows a re-offense rate of less than 1% http://sosen.org/blog/2019/06/07/a-limited-study-done-by-the-department-of-justice-still-proves-that-registrants-have-the-lowest-re-offense-rate.html

This is not a new phenomena studies going back to pre-registry and pretreatment programs show a super low re-offense rate even back then. The Jack study done in 1962 tracked over 4000 offenders for over 15 years and showed a yearly re-offense rate of 2/10 of 1% this is the type of information that needs to be spread throughout the advocate community and especially passed along to attorneys who are involved in trying to restore our constitutional rights.
