I would refer you to the chapter in this report - https://www.sentencingcouncil.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2019-08/Recidivism_of_Sex_Offenders_Research_Paper.doc
The vast majority of sex offenders are never accused, charged, prosecuted and convicted and are thus never subject to those sorts of controls
Eh, from what I’ve read at least some of this is due to the fact the state keeps such close tabs on sexual offenders, unlike with other crimes.
If we hawked shoplifters as much as we did molesters they would likely also have a low recidivism rate.

Okay but then how do we know what their rate of “recidivism” is if they’re never punished in the first place?
