Crime is a sociological phenomenon influenced by a variety of factors. The FBI discourages …making comparisons as a way of measuring law enforcement effectiveness. Some of this data may not be comparable to previous years because of differing levels of participation over time.
The data… is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It’s important to consider the various factors that lead to crime… Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors include: population size and density; economic conditions; employment rates; prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies; administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement; citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing; and the effective strength of the police force.
Charts of Crime 2009-2019
These charts show the crime rate of both rape (with the classic and newly expanded definition) and murder, the two most violent criminal acts.

Ineffective Sex Offender Laws
As one can clearly see by the data from the FBI, rape in the US has risen substantially since 2012. This increase began after the full implementation of the Adam Walsh Act (SORNA) by the states around 2011-2012.
Somehow, it rises faster after the harsher regulations of 2016’s International Megan’s Law.
One might think, based on all of the “hard evidence“, that tougher, draconian “sex offender” restrictions are helping prevent rape from happening.
Instead, the law flounders in open water destroying the families of those afflicted by it and creating countless victims in its wake.
At best, the Adam Walsh Act is an emotionally uplifting, divine waste of tax-payer money and law enforcement resources. At worst, its an extreme act of cruel and unusual punishment that is violating international civil and human rights.
This type of fear-based legislation hasn’t seen the light of day since German conservatives experimented with something similar almost 100 years ago.
To better grasp the insanity that is “sex offender” legislation, we have a good post about children on the registry. You can read the article here and watch our video on the ineffectiveness of the laws.
Human Rights Are Everyone's Rights
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of human rights and live in the United States, then you are in for a surprise.
The subject is not approachable domestically.
Everyone lives with the illusion that they are under protection from government tyranny.
Everyone runs around thinking and claiming that they have “rights”. The US does not recognize human rights for Americans.
The US Congress has passed two major violations of both human and civil rights in the form of the Patriot Act (2003) and the Adam Walsh Act (2006).
Both pieces of legislation blatantly violate the US Constitution as well as the internationally protected rights of individuals.
They also resist legitimate legal challenges based on the outrageous notion that Americans, in the land of the free no less, are NOT protected by or entitled to any international human rights.
The US Supreme Court confirmed that Americans have no human rights. Process that for a moment.
Watch our growing series on human rights for “sex offenders” below. Witness some of the things that Americans don’t realize they’re missing from their lives in a “free country.”
Just Facts - Not Fear
Here is a detailed document of crime statistics created by Mariel Alper, Ph.D. and Matthew R. Durose of the United States Bureau of Statistics. They discuss the recidivism rate of “sex offenders”. It’s this rate that is often used, incorrectly and very deceitfully, as the propaganda to keep and enact harsh laws. The study covers the years 2005-2014 and was finally compiled in 2019… pretty quick turnaround for the US government.

TL;DR
Key Points
During the 9-year follow-up period:
- Two-thirds (67%) of released sex offenders were arrested, compared to about five-sixths (84%) of other released prisoners.
- Half of released sex offenders had another arrest and conviction, lower than for all released prisoners.
- Within 3 years of release, 28% of sex offenders had an arrest and conviction, compared to 49% of all released prisoners.
Summary
This report by the United States Government clearly states that, contrary to the false narrative politicians use to exploit an unprotected and vulnerable minority:
Sex offenders are less likely to re-offend than all other released offenders from state prison. They are also more likely to commit a non-violent or property-style crime after release.
The non-violent/property crime statistic is unsurprising considering the insanely oppressive restrictions of the AWA.
What can a person do when they can’t find work, attend school, have a decent place to live, or receive government assistance? Turn to drugs? Steal a car?
These inhumane laws and the stigmas they create perpetually make our society more broken and dangerous every day.
These papers are from the US Government’s own facts and figures repository at the USBoS.
These are the numbers that our Congressional Representatives in Washington intentionally use to misrepresent, skew, and outright falsify.
There is no justification for the application and enforcement of blanket-style human-rights violating criminal statutes like the Adam Walsh Act.
