Sex Offender Risk Assessment

Sex offender risk assessment is a process used to evaluate the likelihood that an individual who has committed a sexual offense might re-offend in the future. Professionals use structured tools, interviews, and case history to assess factors like behavior patterns, psychological makeup, and circumstances. The goal is to balance community safety with fair treatment, guiding decisions about supervision levels, treatment needs, and release planning. These assessments are evidence-based and aim to provide a thoughtful, individualized understanding of potential risks without unfairly stigmatizing individuals.
