In Arkansas, sex offenders are classified into four levels (1-4) based on their risk of reoffending, with Level 4 being the highest risk. These levels determine community notification requirements and other restrictions. Level 1 offenders have the lowest risk of reoffending, Level 2 is moderate, Level 3 is high, and Level 4 are considered sexually violent predators.  

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Level 1 (Low Risk):
Offenders in this category have no prior history of sexual offending and pose minimal risk to the public. They are typically required to register with local law enforcement and may have minimal restrictions.  

Level 2 (Moderate Risk):
These offenders have a history of sexual offending, but their risk of reoffending is considered moderate. They may have specific restrictions on where they can live and what activities they can participate in.  

Level 3 (High Risk):
This level includes offenders with a history of repeat sexual offending or strong antisocial, violent, or predatory characteristics. They are subject to more stringent restrictions, including limitations on residence and activities.  

Level 4 (Sexually Dangerous Person):
This is the highest risk level, reserved for individuals with a history of violent sex crimes or who are considered likely to engage in predatory behavior. They face the most severe restrictions, including mandatory registration and potential restrictions on residence and activities.
