Abstract: 

Experienced probation officer Paul Meigio makes a plea for greater attention to be paid to the risks of re-offense posed by persons serving probation for misdemeanor sex crimes. As he points out here, only felony offenders are subject to the kind of full-scale sexual abuse assessment that might identify, and possibly curtail, probationers who are likely to re-offend.
