> The age at which people are most likely to land on the list is 14. But a man who liked 13 year olds when he was 14, is unlikely to reoffend at 30. What is the purpose of ruining the rest of his life for a juvenile mistake?

am I like misunderstanding or what does this mean exactly? I'm so confused. "reoffend" what kind of offense are we talking about here?

Sex crimes. Particularly ones involving children. Such as having sexual pictures of children.
"who liked 13 year olds when he was 14, is unlikely to reoffend at 30"

I still don't exactly understand this part.
