“Hundreds of convicted sex offenders are missing” – How worried should we be?
"So, without the profiles of those who are missing, it is hard to know how dangerous, or otherwise, these people are.
In addition, 97% of people on the Register have been assessed as ‘low risk’. It’s not a exact science, but the police would tend to err on side of caution for obvious reasons. If those are reflected in the missing, then it is likely that only 12 will not be classified as low risk.
Conclusion
Whenever there is a story like this, among the questions that it is always worth asking are; what the figures mean, whether it is a big number in real terms, what information is missing, and what the explanation for the figures are?
What is missing is any details of how many people who were previously missing were found because they committed other sexual or violent offences, as well as an analysis of the people who are missing.
To critically approach these questions is not to dismiss the seriousness of the issue, or the concerns of those raising this as an issue. But, in answer to the question of how worried we should be, perhaps the answer is ‘not as much as you’d think when you read the headline’."
