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.
