Category 5: General Criminality<br />
CATEGORY V: GENERAL CRIMINALITY (Score 0 – 6 Points)<br />
The Basic Principle: General criminality is one of the two main factors that have<br />
been established as risk predictors for sexual recidivism (the other being sexual<br />
deviance – Hanson & Bussière, 1<strong>99</strong>8; Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2005).<br />
Offenders vary on the density and variety of criminal behaviour, and those with<br />
an extensive criminal history are at increased risk for all forms of recidivism<br />
(sexual, violent, non-violent).<br />
This category contains five items:<br />
Any Prior Involvement with the Criminal Justice System (Score 0-1<br />

Any Community Supervision Violation (Score 0-1 point).<br />
Years Free Prior to Index Sex Offence (Score 0-1 point).<br />
Any Prior Non-Sexual Violence Sentencing Occasion (Score 0-1<br />
