Sex offenders are never cured, like an alcoholic, but may be treated to learn self control. This is a choice and not a guarantee that they will comply with treatment requirements. My husband has been a certified sex offender treatment provider in Oregon and Washington for many years and is currently a polygraph examiner. He is currently working on his doctorate in Criminal Justice. The recidivism rates are not exactly accurate. You have to realize this rate demonstrates the number that have been CAUGHT in another crime. My husband's opinion is that we don't know how many are perpetrating crimes without being caught. It is disappointing to see our justice system not following the sentence sanctioned by the judge.
