Assessing the risk of older sex offenders : developing the Static 99R and Static 2002R / [by] Leslie Helmus ... [et al.]. : PS3-1/2011-1E-PDF
Actuarial risk assessment scales and their associated recidivism estimates are generally developed on samples of offenders whose average age is well under 50 years old. Criminal behaviour of all types declines with age; consequently, actuarial scales tend to overestimate recidivism for older offenders. The current study aimed to develop a revised scoring system for two risk assessment tools (Static-99 and Static-2002) that would more accurately describe older offenders’ risk of recidivism.
