Overview
Static-99R is a ten item actuarial assessment instrument created by R. Karl Hanson, Ph.D. and David Thornton, Ph.D. for use with adult males with a history of sexual offending who are at least 18 year of age at time of release to the community. In 2012, the age item for the original scale (Static-99) was updated, creating Static-99R. Static-99R is the most widely used sexual recidivism risk assessment instrument in the world, and is extensively used in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and many European nations.
