Summary: Most risk assessment scales are developed to broadly rank individuals according to their risk to reoffend, not to inform particular legal decisions. This article focuses on Static-99R, the most commonly used and researched risk assessment tool for individuals charged or convicted of sexual offenses. It provides an overview of the scale's development, reliability, validity, and legal admissibility. Despite its limitations, Static-99R is shown to be useful in legal decision-making and better than not using structured risk scales.

Summary: This article examines how a standards development organization (SDO) mobilizes standards for accountability and the implications of this for both the governed and the public.
