CPORT-R (Child Pornography Offender Risk Tool – Revised)

Overview

CPORT-R is a specialized risk assessment instrument designed to estimate the likelihood of sexual reoffending among individuals convicted of child sexual exploitation material offences; also known as child pornography offences. It evaluates risk based on factors related to offence behavior, criminal history, and psychosocial characteristics. CPORT-R fills a critical need for risk assessments in cases where there is no known contact offending but significant risk management decisions must be made. The CPORT-R is the most researched and best validated risk instrument for men whose only sexual offences involve child sexual exploitation materials.

Policy and Practice

CPORT-R is used to guide decisions on supervision levels, treatment referral, and conditional release planning for individuals involved in internet-based sexual offences and similar child sexual exploitation material offences.
