004.00.4-10. Actuarial Instrument
FTP utilizes the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Procedure, II (JSOAP-II) as its actuarial tool. However, due to the rapidly changing developmental factors in youth, current actuarial tools for youth with sexual offenses are limited in their validity and reliability. Actuarial assessment of static and dynamic risk factors assist in providing a risk assessment that is based on clinical evaluation of factors that have been identified in the literature as related to sexual re-offense. Static risk factors are those that cannot decrease over time, regardless of intervention or treatment, while dynamic risk factors are subject to change over time, and sex offender specific treatment is designed to affect dynamic risk factors in order to reduce the offender's risk for reoffending in the future.
