Static-99 Assessment

Static-99, and its age-revised form Static-99R, is the most widely used actuarial instrument for estimating sexual and violent recidivism risk among adult male sexual offenders. It scores ten unchanging, historical risk factors into a total that maps onto a risk category and, via published norm tables, an estimated probability of reoffending — providing a standardized, evidence-based anchor for forensic risk decisions.
