Sex Offenders, the Static-99 Form and Re-offending
While it remains impossible to determine exactly whether a sex offender will re offend statistically there are underlying factors that point to the sex offenders risk profile in relation to re offending (or recidivism). North Carolina State uses a form (static-99) to assist in trying to determine the risk profile of a male sex offender. This is a form that originated in Canada and the questionnaire is fairly standardised. The form is also used widely in The U.S. and Europe. The risk level determined correlates to the monitoring and supervision post release or while on probation. 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.
