The questions include whether the offender was employed less than full time when arrested; whether the offender failed first or second grade; whether the offender has prior convictions; and whether the offender was sexually aroused during the sexual assault. It also includes an analysis of the offender's denial, deviancy and motivation.
What does whether the offender failed first or second grade have to do with determining if they are a sexually violent predator? The test seems flawed.
Part of the problem is money, officials said.
When the SVP criteria were created, no money was provided for sending therapists qualified to perform the tests to all 20 prisons where sex offenders are held, Morgan said. The state has such experts at just five prisons.
Here is the heart of the matter. Money. They didn't properly fund having the evaluations done after creating the SVP criteria. Seems a small price to pay for protecting the children.
