Sex Offenders, the Static-99 Form and Re-offending
Content: No relevant assessment is applied to female sex offenders due to negligible numbers. There are also very few studies in to recidivism for females again due to numbers. However a system that has been developed in Iowa has been tested in N.C. Dept. of Corrections in relation to female sex offenders. There are ten questions to The Static-99 form. The form is administered by correction or probation officers post conviction or prior to release. Those factors taken in to consideration are age at release, criminal background incl. Sex offenses, relationship history, also whether the victims were related at all, male or strangers. All of these factors, in studies, have pointed to increased risks of re-offending. As an example an older offender is less likely to re-offend.
