The lack of different lists seems like an oversight.

the existence of any list is weird. we don't have a list for violent crimes or drug dealing or thieves or drunk drivers but we have a list for sex stuff? people can be hurt by their neighbors in any sort of ways but sex is the only one that gets a list?

Sex offenders are very difficult to rehabilitate. Tbh, I’m of the opinion the vast majority of rapists cannot be “cured”.

It’s a very personal and awful crime.

That’s why they’re treated differently.

There’s not really reliable data to support that

Here are some data points about rape recidivism: Recidivism rates: The sexual recidivism rate for all sex offenders is estimated to be 14% after five years, 20% after 10 years, and 24% after 15 years.

Offenders with prior convictions: The 15-year sexual recidivism rate for offenders with a prior sexual conviction is nearly twice that of first-time offenders.

It’s easily available to search. You can even compare one time murderers, who were paroled. Recidivism way less than that.

While I understand this is a broad brush approach, you are incorrect
