The California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) disclosed several registrant statistics during its monthly board meeting on September 20. The statistics were presented by representatives from several state agencies.
According to the California Department of Justice, there are currently a total of 106,627 people required to register as sex offenders. Of that total, there are 77,666 people who live “in the community”, that is, not in jail, prison or a state hospital. The total also includes 6,652 people who are homeless (also referred to as transients) of which about 1,500 are in violation for failure to register.
According to the California Department of State Hospitals, there are 955 registrants who have been civilly committed in Coalinga State Hospital. Of that total, 509 registrants have been determined to be sexually violent predators, however, determinations are still pending for another 443 registrants.
According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, there are currently a total of 119,544 people in state prisons. This is 132 percent of state prison capacity and lower than the 137 percent cap on prison populations placed by the courts. Of that total, there are 47,741 people on parole of which 6,089 are required to register as sex offenders.
The next CASOMB meeting is scheduled on Thursday, October 25, starting at 9:30 a.m. The meeting will be held at 2590 Venture Oaks Way, Sacramento. The meeting is open to the public.
One minor statistic is missing: of the 77,666 people on the registry living in the community how many have reoffended while living in the community? Perhaps they don’t want to make that statistic available as that might temper the fear and hysteria the media and the politicians have worked so hard at creating.
no one really listen to CASOMB unless it fake news.
They tried to pass better laws for RSO but nooo one listen and we BARELY pass the Tier level.
Why does the CASOMB scam still have any credibility whatsoever? These are the same people that endorse the polygraph, as well legislation that props and requires no-confidentiality “treatment” scams.
Who cares… the registry is broken everybody knows it .Hopefully everybod will be relieved of haveing to register for life as a SEXOFFENDER. I shore everybody has famliys and know theses laws are put in place to protect the community and i respect that . Do they stop people from cometting crimes no and people who reoffend are a big problem not just for people who might be in are current situation but a problem to the whole Society ingenarul they should have to register for life some even put away for life they cant be trusted ..think about it would u feel safe with one of ur famliy members being around someone whos been convicted of multiple sexoffenes I don’t so ..also if someone like that moved in my neighborhood I think people should be notified
