Sex Offenders, the Static-99 Form and Re-offending
Content: 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. Sex offenders whose victims were male, statistically, are more liable to re-offending. Risk factors carry a score from 0>3 and total thereof. 6 or over confirms an offender is at high risk to re-offend. 0>1 places the offender at low risk. It is worth noting that the Static-99 is not used for all sex offending cases.
