Title: A comparative study of two groups of sex offenders identified as high and low risk on the static-99. Author: Coxe R, Holmes W. Journal: J Child Sex Abus; 2009; 18(2):137-53. PubMed ID: 19306203. Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify possible differences between high- and low-risk sex offenders. The subjects included 285 sex offenders on probation. They were evaluated with the Static-99, Abel Assessment, Raven's, and MMPI-2. A criminal history review identified the number of prior offenses and the age/sex category in the index offense. The high- and low-risk groups were compared on 26 variables: intelligence, age, criminal history, denial patterns, measured sexual interest in children, admission of sexual interests, a childhood history of sexual abuse, victim's age, and personality variables. Four variables significantly accounted for 64% of the variance: age, prior number of felonies, the Cognitive Distortion Score, and the MMPI-2 Infrequency scale score.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
