Gentry, Catherine N. Dulmus, Matthew T. Theriot  aObjective: This study compares sex offender risk classification using two popular actuarial risk assessment
instruments—the Static-99 and the Level of Service Inventory–Revised (LSI-R). Despite their extensive use, the two
scales assess different types of risk factors and research has yet to compare them. Method: Static-99 and LSI-R risk
assessments were compared for 30 adult male sex offenders attending a community-based treatment program.
Results: A paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant difference (Z = –3.962, p < .001) between the
instruments, with 63.3% of the sample classified as higher risk for reoffending by the Static-99 than by the LSI-R.
Conclusions: The Static-99 may be a more conservative risk assessment tool. Yet because the LSI-R provides useful information about an offender’s current needs not included on the Static-99, treatment providers should use bothinstruments. This more comprehensive assessment of criminogenic risk and need will better inform supervision and intervention decisions.  cTennesseed2005pp. 557-563tResearch on Social Work Practice vVol. 15  aVIOLÊNCIA SEXUAL  aOFENSORES SEXUAIS  aANÁLISE DE RISCO  a343.8  aGentrybAmanda L.   4070aDulmusbCatherine N.   4070aTheriotbMatthew T.  aPTgRPC  j343.8GEN
