Are risk levels consistent nationwide?

No, each state has slightly different community notification laws, implementation dates, and risk assessment instruments.


How is risk level determined?

Prior to an offender's release or sentence to probation, the agency that had custody of the individual completes a risk assessment screening profile. This instrument evaluates nineteen criteria that are considered to be significant factors contributing to sex offender recidivism. Each criterion is given a score, which is then totaled to arrive at the recommended risk level. All criminal justice agencies must use the standardized Arizona Risk Assessment, however, occasionally law enforcement discovers information which can affect an offender's risk level. As such, law enforcement is given the discretion to either accept the recommended risk level or complete another risk assessment.

Level 1

For level one offenders, the local law enforcement agency that is responsible for notification shall maintain information about the offender. The local law enforcement agency may disseminate this information to other law enforcement agencies and may give notification to the people with whom the offender resides. If a level one offender fails to register or reregister pursuant to section 13-3821 or 13-3822 and a warrant is issued, before the issuance of the warrant the law enforcement agency that requested the warrant may assemble, print and distribute appropriate flyers regarding the offender.


Level 2 & Level 3

For level two and level three offenders, the notification shall be made to the surrounding neighborhood, area schools, appropriate community groups and prospective employers. The notification shall include a flyer with a photograph and exact address of the offender as well as a summary of the offender's status and criminal background. A press release and a level two or level three flyer shall be given to the local electronic and print media to enable information to be placed in a local publication. If a level two or level three offender fails to register or reregister pursuant to section 13-3821 or 13-3822 and a warrant is issued, before the issuance of the warrant the law enforcement agency that requested the warrant shall assemble, print and distribute appropriate flyers regarding the offender.
