Static-99

The Static-99 is a standardized assessment tool used by professionals to estimate the likelihood that a sexual offender might commit another offense. It evaluates several factors such as age, criminal history, and specific types of offenses. The tool uses these factors to produce a score that places individuals into risk categories, helping judges and parole officers make informed decisions about supervision and treatment. While not perfectly predictive, the Static-99 provides a structured, research-based way to assess potential risk, supporting public safety and responsible management of offenders.
