Female Sex Offenders, Part II

As I mentioned before, a new blog is a doing a great job at chronicling female sex offenders. Yesterday, this post documented over 25 cases that occurred last month alone. Of particular note is that the vast majority of these offenders were school teachers, which once again highlights how access to minors is one of the largest variables in understanding sex offending risk. The conventional notion is that men represent the majority of sex offenders -- and this is likely true -- but as this blog suggests, the issue isn't as one-sided (gender wise) as many would like to think.
