The Static-99R is the most widely used actuarial risk assessment tool in the world for assessing sexual re-offense risk of adult males. This instrument has been subject to extensive empirical research, establishing it as a trusted and validated tool for assessing sexual re-offense. It has undergone significant development, evolving from the original Static-99 to include an expanded version that better reflects the protective value of advancing age.
In this training, Certified Trainer Katie Gotch provides a thorough overview of the Static-99R, including its development, scoring system, and application in various settings. Participants learn how to score each of the ten items, with scores ranging from -3 to 12, and understand how these scores categorize individuals into five distinct risk levels: very low, below average, average, above average, and well above average risk.
The training also covers the predictive validity of the Static-99R and its appropriate use in forensic settings. Case studies are utilized to enhance understanding and facilitate skill development throughout the training.
The training consists of two half-day sessions and is designed as a live-only training to facilitate interactive discussions among participants and the presenter. This format provides an intensive learning experience while accommodating participants’ workplace commitments.
In order to facilitate everyone’s learning, we kindly request that all participants come prepared to activate their cameras and microphones to fully engage in the training.
As a result of participating in this training, attendees will be better able to:
1) Describe the development and research foundation for the Static-99R
2) Identify why each item of the Static-99R is risk relevant
3) Use the scoring manual efficiently to score cases
4) Use the Static-99R as a risk assessment measure in your practice
5) Apply scoring criteria in common as well as challenging situations
6) Describe considerations for using the Static-99R with different ethnic groups

8) Identify limitations to the use of Static-99R
