So if they rate they see afterwards is also 10% then that says to me nothing is changeing [sic]
No, it just means 10% of these convicted, registered, known offenders are caught at it again after treatment. Remember that these are NOT in the general population - the ones already convicted get watched. A lot. All statistics are somewhat suspect, and it's true that concealed topics like this make it very hard to measure true rates. But perish the thought that a child molester could be rehabilitated and a useful member of society! Hang 'em all just in case! Please go and RTFA - you may learn something.
