    The article discusses a study of individuals in Florida who were released from civil commitment as sexually violent predators. The study found that these individuals had low rates of sexual recidivism, with only 7.5% being rearrested or reconvicted for a new sexual crime after release. This suggests that sexually violent predators may not actually be at high risk upon release from civil commitment, contrary to the assumptions of such laws. The study was conducted by Declue and Rice and published in the Open Access Journal of Forensic Psychology in an issue that uses double-blind peer review.
