Comparing sex offender risk classification using the static-99 and LSI-R assessment instruments

Article Abstract:

A study compares sex offender risk classification using two popular actuarial risk assessment instruments, the Stastic-99 and the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R). A paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a significant difference between the instruments, with 63.3% of the sample classified as higher risk for reoffending by the Static-99 than by the LSI-R.
