Assessing Variability in Offending Between Sex and Non-Sex Offenders Through Age 70.
Article in Criminal behaviour and mental health : CBMH, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe criminal career paradigm represented a fundamental shift within criminology as it drew attention to the longitudinal patterning of offending, with research findings leading to important new insights on matters related to theory, methods and policy.
aimsThis study examines the longitudinal crime mix among sex and non-sex offenders. MATERIALS AND
methodsAdministrative data of over 43,000 individuals released from incarceration in the State of Texas through age 70 are used to examine crime mixture patterns.
resultsKey findings show that: having a sex offence history significantly decreased the likelihood of arrest by age and that having a first arrest for a sex offence was associated with significantly lower odds of any subsequent arrest and violent non-sex offence arrests. DISCUSSION: The criminal career patterns of sex offenders are not more specialised, violent, nor frequent compared to non-sex offenders.
conclusionTheories and policy associated with sex offenders must take into account their lack of crime type specialisation.
