AI Summary
This bill requires an independent organization, selected by the Legislative Joint Committee on Public Safety and Security, to conduct a study on the sexual recidivism rates of Level 1, 2, and 3 sex offenders in Massachusetts. The study would examine five-year recidivism rates starting from 2004, measure recidivism by new sex offense charges and CORI convictions, and provide information on factors such as the age of offenders, recidivism rates of juveniles and females, and the incidence of non-contact offenders committing contact sex offenses. The goal is to determine whether the current sex offender classification system accurately reflects the risk of reoffending. A report on the study's findings must be filed with the legislature by December 31, 2017.
