Dangerous sex offenders

The purpose of this data collection was to validate two classification systems, one for rapists and one for child molesters, used in a Massachusetts treatment center for sexually aggressive offenders. Rapists and child molesters were classified as two types of sex offenders and then clinically classified into different subtypes based on criteria for the two taxonomies being tested. Variables include type of traffic offenses, criminal offenses, and sex offenses charged. Data on dispositions of cases are also provided along with parole and discharge information. Offenders' post-release offenses were categorized into traffic offenses, non-traffic offenses, and sex offenses.
