This study compares the predictive accuracy of three sex offender risk assessment measures: the Rapid Risk Assessment for Sex Offence Recidivism, RRASOR (Hanson, 1997); Thornton's Structured Anchored Clinical Judgement, SACJ (Grubin, 1998); and a new scale called Static-99, created by combining the items from the RRASOR and SACJ. Predictive accuracy is tested using four diverse data sets drawn from Canada and the United Kingdom. The appendix contains details on the coding rules for Static-99.
