What is the Recidivism rate of male sex offenders in New York State prisons?
According to the most recent recidivism study by the New York Department of Correctional Services, average recidivism for all felony offenders was approximately 40%. For sexual offenders, recidivism was significantly lower--approximately 4.2% (new offense of 1st degree sexual abuse), 4.2% (1st degree sodomy), 6.4% (1st degree rape), and 7.7% for "other sex offenses." Sexual offenders have a lower rate of recidivism for new sex offenses, but higher rates of recidivism for non-sexual offenses. (See "2004 Releases: Three-Year Post-Release follow-up" published by New York Department of Correctional Services). It should be of interest that the findings in the above-cited report are consistent with findings in earlier studies by the state of New York and studies by other states.
