Fear-Mongering by Mike and Juliet
This is what fear-mongering for ratings looks like.
FACT:
The Department of Justice calculated the actual sex offender recidivism rate using 1994 statistical figures (Megan's law era), results showed a small 3.5% of sex offenders released from prison commit another sex offense; other crimes types are 3-10 times that rate and are ignored, even when they affect children.
FACT:
Current Department of Justice statistics show 96+% of all new sex offenses are committed by someone other than a previously convicted sex offender.
