NRS 62H.300 - Legislative findings and declarations.

NV Rev Stat § 62H.300 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:

1. A significant number of offenders in Nevada have been convicted of sexual offenses. Many of these offenders have been convicted of sexual offenses on more than one occasion, and many of these offenders began committing sexual offenses as juveniles.

2. There is a great need for a continuing statistical analysis regarding the recidivism of juvenile sex offenders so that the most appropriate punishment and treatment may be identified to prevent these juvenile sex offenders, as juveniles, from committing further acts that, if committed by adults, would be sexual offenses or, later as adults, from committing sexual offenses.
