It should be fairly well known by practicioners in the sex offender therapy or rehabilitation fields that people who committed sex offenses vary in degrees of recidivism. A small group of offenders, percentage wise have the highest recidivism rate. I have calculated that percentage range between 1.7% to 5%, with actual recidivism within this group 14% or greater. That is the most problematic group and the numbers are in the thousands so don't let the low group rate be of a surprise, because it is the rate within the group that matters.

Then there are other groups that might recidivate to those who will not recidivate but typically these groups are not well defined by the professionals because the one size fits all approach is still mostly used. By in large up to 95% of people arrested and convicted of a listed sex offense will not seek out to reoffend, but there might be relapses, but nothing like the most problematic group.
