Lobanov-Rotovsky (2015) conducted a deep analysis regarding Juvenile males (age 11-17) who were incarcerated due to a sexual assault or serious sexual assault. (Id, p.2) Research that was conducted was on both sexual assault recidivism and then other criminal recidivism. (Id, p. 2) After being released from incarceration these young men will be forever tagged in the criminal justice database for their crimes, which allows for an accurate measure of recidivism. (Id pp 3-5) As young registered sex offenders, the study explores whether the offenders continue assaulting after their release throughout different lengths of time. Many Americans believe that those sexual offenders that are released from incarceration will eventually commit the same

However, as time progresses, the researcher had found studies that shown up to a 20 percent reoccurrence in rape or child molestation cases. High rates of non-sexual offenses against children or peers were seen within two years of incarceration release and continued to be high as time progressed. The trend shows that going into adulthood sexual assault recidivism seems to increase while general recidivism stays at higher rates almost throughout the whole period of …show more content…
A clear inference is formed in that adult males are much more likely to re-commit sexual assault acts upon others than juveniles are; while juvenile males are more likely to commit other crimes or “general recidivism” after being incarcerated (Id p.5). The research offered in this analysis does show that adult males are more likely to commit sexual assault recidivism, however, a more accurate study that closely follows the offenders is needed to truly understand what that rate is, in order for an accurate conclusion to be found. The common theme found in the data is as time progresses the likelihood for recidivism increases for sexual assault cases while recidivism for other criminal actions such as violence is high throughout any given time period. Concluded, there remains the need for a more closely monitored study is needed to accurately reflect re-offense rates across America and find solutions to reduce individuals from re-committing a sexual assault or some other
