Stat,California uses the "containment model". I currently do not do PCSOT so I am not up on currents stats.
Jim Adams, who has a listing on this site, is one of California's most active PCSOT Examiners. He travels all over the state testing and teaching. He is also active on several related panels. He would be a wealth of info for you. He can be contacted at jimpolygraphman@sbcglobal.net
We just had a case in my coounty where a hard core offender (violent-serial) was released after castration and years of therapy. The state claimed he was no longer a threat. He was placed on an ankle monitor but no community would accept him. A local defense attorney took him in a few months ago. Guess what?
The man was arrested last week after he was found driving in another city with the attorney's 14 year old son in the car!
I beleive that any program designed to clamp down on these guys is good because you can NEVER cure them. It would be like someone telling me that they are going to change my sexual preference by putting me into a "program"........I don't think so!
To all of you who do conduct PCSOT-Keep up the good work and stay on these clowns!
