The New Jersey Department of Corrections received a $400,000 grant to assess the effectiveness of classifying sex offenders and to determine their likelihood of reoffending. This multi-state study will examine how well sex offender classifications within the 2006 Sex Offender Notification and Registration Act can predict repeat offenses. It also will be among the first studies to examine the common procedures used to classify risk in American sex offenders. The project was developed by NJDOC researcher Dr. Kristen Zgoba, in collaboration with several major universities, including University of Minnesota Medical School and Medical University of South Carolina. Consultants from the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers also will help with the project. |
