A limited study done by the Department of Justice still proves that registrants have the lowest re-offense rate

The Department of Justice Bureau of statistics has put out another report “Recidivism of sex offenders released from state prison a nine-year follow-up 2005-14.” This is another attempt to muddy the waters by the Department of Justice in relation to the re-offense rate of people on the registry. First of all, this is not a valid study for evaluating the amount of recidivism by the 900,000+ people that are registered citizens. This is in fact a limited study of a small group of people that were released from prisons in 2005 and when I say a small group it is limited to rapists and sexual abusers, it does not take into account all the other types of sexual misconduct that will result in a criminal conviction and may or may not spend prison time as well as resulting in a listing on the registry. Although the authors of this 35 page long “study” attempted to conceal the truth with its all kinds of extraneous information that is unrelated to the underlying title of the document, the true information about registrants’ conviction rates is still there, you just have to dig for it.

Interesting read on the latest study:

BJS fuels myths about sex offense recidivism, contradicting its own new data

A new government report reinforces harmful misconceptions about people convicted of sex offenses. Here’s our take on how to parse the data.

As a follow-up, I have written a new report based on the misleading claim that ‘sex offenders are three times more likely to reoffend” as headlined by the BJS in their press release.

The key concept of their war on humanity is the concept of proclivity. This registry and all those to come are and will be based on this one word -PROCLIVITY. They will never have to prove proclivity, because there is no way to prove it. It will be assumed by default, because that is the only way to justify their control over people. Punishment for thought crimes are indeed coming next if we don’t stop this, and the American version of the new Chinese social credit system is on its way.
People have no idea what is in store for them. Sad.
