The justification for maintaining such public lists rests on the presumption that sex offenders have higher recidivism rates than other criminals--though Bureau of Justice statistics indicate that rapists are substantially less likely than other violent and nonviolent criminals to be rearrested for the same crime. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released Suicide and Homicide in State Prisons and Local Jails, which describes historical trends in state prison and local jail inmate mortality rates based on inmate death records submitted by local jails (for 2000-2002) and state prisons (for 2001-2002). A 2003 Bureau of Justice Statistics report tracking 9,691 sex offenders after they were released from state prisons in 1994 found that they were four times more likely than those not convicted of such offenses to commit a sex crime. |
