Category 4: Relationship to Victims<br />
CATEGORY IV: RELATIONSHIP TO VICTIMS (Score 0 – 2 points)<br />
The Basic Principle: The items concerning relationship to victims were included<br />
purely on an empirical basis. We had initially hypothesized that these items were<br />
related to the size of the potential victim pool or “range of available victims,” but<br />
this hypothesis was not supported in the analyses used to develop <strong>Static</strong>-<strong>2002</strong><br />
(Hanson & Thornton, 2003). Consequently, further research is needed to clarify<br />
the reason for the association of these items with recidivism among sexual<br />
offenders.<br />
This category contains two items:<br />
Any Unrelated Victim (Score 0-1 point).<br />
Any Stranger Victim (Score 0-1 point).<br />
The score of these two items are summed to make a total score for this category<br />
that ranges from 0 to 2.<br />
