Risk levels are assigned to predatory offenders when they are released from prison. The level is based on their prior offense history, the seriousness of their crime and more. There are three levels of predatory offenders -- 1, 2, 3 -- and a Level 3 predatory offender is considered by the DOC most likely to reoffend.
