Category 3: Deviant Sexual Interests<br />

CATEGORY III: DEVIANT SEXUAL INTERESTS (Score 0 – 3 Points)<br />

The Basic Principle: Deviant sexual interest is one of the main factors<br />

associated with the risk of sexual recidivism (Hanson & Bussière, 1<strong>99</strong>8; Hanson<br />

& Morton-Bourgon, 2005). The deviant sexual interests addressed by <strong>Static</strong>-<strong>2002</strong><br />

are illegal paraphilias, such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, and pedophilia.<br />

Although full assessment of deviant sexual interests is aided by self-report and<br />

specialized testing, valuable information about deviant sexual interests can be<br />

established based on offence history only (Freund & Watson, 1<strong>99</strong>1; Seto &<br />

Lalumière, 2001). Most of the individuals who score high on this subscale would<br />

be expected to be identified as having deviant sexual interests through other<br />

assessment procedures.<br />

This category contains three items:<br />

Any Sentencing Occasion for Non-contact Sexual Offence (Score 0-1<br />

point).<br />

Any Male Victim (Score 0-1 point).<br />

Young, Unrelated Victims (Score 0-1 point).<br />

The score of these three items are summed to make a total score for this<br />

category that ranges from 0 to 3.<br />
