ANNOTATION: The extent to which sex offender registration and notification laws in South Carolina reduce the recidivism of sex offenders in that state is investigated. Sections following an executive summary include: introduction; methodology of the current study; procedures and findings specific to each aim—prevention (general deterrence) of sexual violence, specific deterrence of sexual recidivism, unintended effects on judicial decision making doe sex crime cases, and association between registration violations and sexual recidivism; project summary; and four policy recommendations. It appears that online notification does not reduce recidivism and that non-registered sex offenders do not recidivate any more than registered sex offenders.
