sex offenders have a lower rate of reoffense than other criminals. Stats don’t lie.

Source please? I'm given to understand that child molesters have the highest rate of recidivism, not the lowest.

To: null and void

“Meanwhile, the existing research raises tough questions about the relative danger child molesters pose to society. Their likelihood of being convicted for a crime after release is much lower than average for all criminals released from prison, and even for all sex offenders, at least in the short term, as measured by a Bureau of Justice Statistics study and others.” -Wall Street Journal 1-24-08
