- W58210295 abstract "economic crisis, while global in its magnitude, has been particularly impactful on individual states. According to Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, there will be a $2.3 billion budget shortfall for the next biennnum (2). This equates to a 36% cut in expenditures for state agencies over the next two years (July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011). Public Safety, which includes both the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation and the Nevada Department of Corrections, is projected to lose 11% ,over $100 million, in funding over the next biennium. aforementioned figures do not reflect the cuts which have already been implemented over the past year. State of Nevada has already cut over 14% from the budgets of state agencies. There is currently a hiring freeze in Nevada for all but essential positions. This has resulted in 62 vacant officer positions statewide within the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation (3). cuts have necessitated many changes in the policies and procedures that the Division uses to regulate how offenders are supervised. In turn, these regulations directly affect the degree to which our children are being protected from sexual predators. Scope Of Problem Any attempt to analyze the extent of the sexual predator problem in the United States is severally restricted because there is only partial data available to study. It is known there are 664,731 registered sex offenders in the United States (239 per 100,000 population) (4). This figure only represents those offenders who are required to register and does not include those offenders who are incarcerated in state and federal prisons and jails that are first time (sexual) offenders and are not yet required to register. Additionally, there were approximately 153,800 sex offenders serving a sentence of more than one year in prisons throughout the United States at yearend 2004 (Sabol, Couture, & Harrison, 2007). These figures include offenders who have been convicted of all categories of sex offenses. It is difficult to separate the actual numbers of sex crimes against children due to plea bargaining, jurisdictional variances in the definitions of sex crimes, and reporting procedures. State of Nevada Sex Offender Registry currently tracks 13,450 sex offenders of which 6431 are active cases (5). There are also 2,159 sex offenders serving one year or more in the Nevada Department of Corrections which represents approximately 16% of the prison population (6). These offenders, like those counted nationally, are not categorized by sex offense making it difficult to get accurate numbers of child sexual predators even on the state level. issue which complicates this analysis more than any other is the significant under--reporting of sex crimes, particularly those involving the sexual abuse of children (APA, 1999). Studies indicate only about one-third of actual child victimizations are reported and ultimately become a component of the available statistical data (Zgoba, Witt, Dalessandro, & Veysey, 2008; Goldman & Padayachi, 2000; APA, 1999). This is important because only those sexual predators that have been previously identified may be managed and supervised in a proactive manner that effectively protects children from them. Role Of Parole & Probation focus of this paper is to address the economic effect on the management of those sexual predators who have been convicted and identified in the State of Nevada. While other agencies have a definite role in the protection of children from sexual predators, the Nevada Department of Public Safety Division of Parole & Probation is the most visible and is directly tasked with this responsibility. mission of NPP is officially stated as: The primary mission of the Department of Public Safety Division of Parole and Probation (Division) is to protect the community and to reduce crime. Division is very unique in that it accomplishes its mission through two distinct strategies: (1) Traditional law enforcement, such as sanctioning offender noncompliance and misconduct, search and surveillance, and arrest; and (2) community correctional services, such as drug testing and counseling, mental health services, employment and educational placement, and encouraging and supporting the offender's positive efforts to become a productive, law-abiding citizen. …" @default.
