| 3 percent rearrest rate for child victimizers during their first three years after release -- compared with 68 percent recidivism for other criminals. Reinforcing virulent racism, classism, sexism and homophobia, on the one hand, public images and rhetoric position us as victimizers, yoked to stories of "brood sows," "Welfare Queens," "unfit parents who view their children as nothing more than increases in welfare checks," "alligators," and "wolves who eat their young" (US Congressional record 1983, 1996 and 2002).
