Summary: Within 9 years of their release from prison in 2005 - Released sex offenders accounted for 5% of releases in 2005 and 16% of arrests for rape or sexual assault during the 9 year follow-up period - Rape and sexual assault offenders were less likely than other released prisoners to be arrested, but they were more likely than other released prisoners to be arrested for rape or sexual assault - Less than half of released sex offenders were arrested for any crime within the first three years, while more than two-thirds were arrested within 9 years - Released sex offenders were more than three times as likely as other released prisoners to be arrested for rape or sexual assault - Eleven percent of released sex offenders were arrested at least once for any crime outside the state of release. -About two-thirds (67%) of released sex offenders were arrested for any crime, compared to about five-sixths (84%) of other released prisoners - Among released prisoners who had a prior arrest for a arrested for any crime but were serving time for an offense other than a sex offense, 6.7% were subsequently arrested for rape or sexual assault. - Half of released sex offenders had a subsequent arrest that led to a conviction.
