A minimum of one state (Illinois) reclassifies all registrants transferring within the state into the best doable tier (Sexual Predator), regardless of the original tier of the particular person, resulting in a lifetime registration requirement and being publicly labelled as a "Sexual Predator". This notification requirement is problematic in instances the place the registered offender is homeless. The state of Washington is among these that have particular provisions of their registration code protecting homeless offenders, however not all states have such provisions. Nearly all of U.S states do not utilize threat evaluation instruments when determining one's inclusion on the registry, though studies have proven that actuarial danger evaluation devices, that are created by putting collectively risk factors discovered by analysis to correlate with re-offending, consistently outperform the offense based mostly programs. Currently, solely the United States allows, and most of the time requires public disclosure of offender information, no matter particular person risk. Studies constantly present intercourse offender recidivism charges of 1-4% after 3 years, recidivism is normally at about 5-10% after a protracted observe up (equivalent to a 10-25 yr follow up). A later research achieved by the Department of Justice showed an excellent lower intercourse offender recidivism fee of about 2.1 p.c after 3 years.
