Abstract
This paper reviews the literature pertaining to risk factors for further offending in convicted sex offenders. Various studies have shown that data on past convictions in sex offenders have predictive power for subsequent rates of re-conviction. A procedure is described here to combine this with interview data and treatment response, which categorises individual offenders into differing levels of predicted risk.Keywords
