Recidivism And Non-Sexual Offenders

There are a number of different factors that increases the risk of recidivism for both sexual and non-sexual offenders. For instance, some of the more common predictors of recidivism for non-sexual offenders comprises of being of a young age at the time of arrest or conviction, the offender’s prior criminal history and the age in which the offender began to perpetrate their crimes, if the offender is of a minority race, the offender’s current relationship status, and whether or not the offender demonstrates any psychopathic tendencies and/or has a clinical diagnosis or any symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (APD). The risk factors of recidivism in sexual offenders, on the other hand, typically involve the number of sexual crimes the

In all reality, he got lucky in that he avoided conviction – just as many other sexual offenders do on a regular basis – simply in that he was not caught for the crime he actually planned on perpetrating that day. Even though Jason partially met some of the criteria for a conviction of a sexual offense since he did express intent to sexually abuse or assault his victim, thereby establishing mens rea, his actions did not meet the legal definition of a sexual offense, unfortunately, because the events surrounding the crime in question lacked an important element required for criminal conviction: actus reus or the guilty act or behavior. Consequently, Jason will not face the same legal ramifications as other sexual offenders that were caught and charged for similar sex crimes since he was only charged with kidnapping in this instance. For instance, he won’t have any legal obligation to register as a sex offender, although he will still be considered a pedophile by definition regardless. Other risk-prevention methods, such as cognitive-behavioral treatments and probation requirements also won’t be imposed in this case as well. Jason won’t have any restrictions as to where he can live or who he can associate with like other sexual offenders and sexually violent predator, for example, nor will he be civilly committed for his perversions either. However, even if Jason had been caught (which he wasn’t), he still probably wouldn’t have met the classification in most jurisdictions because he has no prior history of criminal behavior. More importantly, though, Jason cannot be prevented from relapsing as a result of aggravating factors if he has yet to ever be formally convicted of a sexual or violent
