http://sosolutionsnetwork.org/solutions.htm#5Tier
© 2006 Sex Offender Solutions Network 2

HIGH-RISK

Someone on probation, or parole or someone who is just being released from prison with
aggravated charges, or has red flags to therapist, and has had an extra-familial victim or
multiple victims
Required to wear a GPS monitor until risk level is determined to be MEDIUM-LOW RISK
Must pass three polygraphs per year
Is on Public Registry, included in banned locations, reports to law enforcement quarterly
If released at this risk level, will be on Public Registry and included in banned locations for
up to 15 years after successful completion of therapy and release from probation or parole

MEDIUM-HIGH RISK (Primary level for most offenders entering the system)

On probation, or parole, has passed polygraphs, but may continue to exhibit red flags to
therapist, or someone who has had a technical violation within the past two years, or
someone who has been granted probation or released from prison with a non-aggravated
charge and intra-familial victim
Must pass two polygraphs per year, reports to law enforcement bi-annually
May be required to wear GPS monitor if deemed a higher risk to re-offend based on
assessment tests and can be removed from GPS when determined risk level is lowered to
MEDIUM LOW-RISK
Is on Public Registry and included in banned locations until risk level is lowered

MEDIUM-LOW RISK

On probation, parole, or supervision
Single count non-aggravated charge and intra-familial victim
In good standing in therapy and probation, no failed polygraphs, and no technical violations
for two years
Not REQUIRED TO BE ON PUBLIC REGISTRY (is still on LESOR)
NOT REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH PROXMINITY (safety zones) LAWS
Reports to law enforcement once a year

LOW RISK (can also be termed negligible-risk)

Completed Sentence
At least 10 Years with no violations
Successful therapy and probation, etc.
Not REQUIRED TO BE ON REGISTRY
NOT REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH PROXMINITY (safety zones) LAWS

All current RSO’s who were charged under a “Romeo and Juliet” law would be placed in
this category Ask yourself this question, does it not make more sense to have a system that proactively helps parents understand the risk level of offenders living in their neighborhoods?

The alternative is two other choices, (1) declare the registry as non-effective and do away with them, or (2) create more registries, making all ex-felons and criminals appear on a registry for their particular crime. The latter would create a whole new class of people and allow the demonization of all criminals equally. The former would force our elected representatives to admit they got this one wrong, which is not likely to happen anytime soon.

The choice is up to us, do we want to allow our elected officials to continue to enact ineffective laws that do nothing to make children safe, over burden and stretch the resources of law enforcement, and drain government revenue, or do we want our elected officials to enact a system that not only makes sense, but also allows for reintegration back into society as well as the preservation and sustainability of government treasury.

$$$$$$$ from our members, does anyone think we should “NOT” ask?
Let’s nail this down!!!

The brochures we need to finish, finish, finish, finish one if not both.
IMO, we “NEED” material that we can put into peoples hands to get them thinking and talking. Something we can print on our home printers.
Let’s nail this down!!!

Also the long over due HRW reports. The ones that are always coming and never get here.
We have had some recent donations, should we use some of our windfall to purchase a couple hundred? We could probably get a good price.
Lets talk about this.

I’m with Static,
The 5 tier system is way to broad.
Personally, anything that relies on a polygraph goes right out the window.

Do ya’ll wanna see if you can research a good alternative?
That stuff was from the days of Shirley. This crap keeps croping up. If you can locate a better alternative, or write one, please post it here.

Alternative #1: Take down all endorsements of the 5 tier system from our website… laughing11

(Seriously, we can all discuss our opinion of the 5 tier thingy in the teleconference- I just wanted to say “not cool, man. Not cool at all” for now. We can get into the details in the meeting.)
