You have to excuse Ms. Madigan. She's a delusional politician with an eye on the Governor's house. She'll say anything that sounds good.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

<blockquote><span class="mb-quote">"The average recidivism rate for a sex offender is slightly less than 50 percent, Madigan said. A person who commits sex crimes against women has an average of seven victims, while a pedophile has an average of 112 victims, she said."</span></blockquote>

Its the old "leave out some important information" combined with "totally false unverifiable information" trick again.

Lets disect it. Sure 50% of sex offenders reoffend.  But what kind of offense?  Remember that AZ study I posted?  Sure it was around 45% for a new crime but only about 7% for a new SEX CRIME.  Isn't sex crime the topic of the whole registry?  So they leave out that little part about "7% new sex crimes".  How convienent.  Nor do they mention that OTHER criminals (like burglars and drug dealers) reoffend at over 60%!!!!!

Then theres the old "pedophile has 112  victims" deal.  Well I can count on one hand the number of cases where I've seen a serial molester actually say he's had 200 victims.  In therapy I NEVER met someone like this.  Also shouldn't they say CHILD MOLESTERS and not PEDOPHILES?

I wish I were really rich I'd sue them for defamation.
