Understand Levels?

Level 1 sex offenders have an “average” or lower risk of sexually re-offending.

Individuals with a Level 1 risk classification tend to have little or no identifiable risk factors, such as few previous non-sexual crimes or few or no probation or parole violations.

Level 2 sex offenders have an “above average” risk of sexually re-offending. They are 2 to 3 times as likely to sexually re-offend as an offender with an average risk.

Individuals with a Level 2 risk classification tend to have some identifiable risk factors, such as more than one sex offense, deviant sexual interests, a history of non-sexual crimes, or some probation violations.

SDP sex offenders have a “well above average” risk of sexually re-offending. They are 3 to 8 times as likely to sexually re-offend as an offender with an average risk.

Individuals with a Sexually Dangerous Predator risk classification tend to have multiple identifiable risk factors, such as multiple sex offenses, deviant sexual interests, a history of non-sexual violence, a substantial criminal history, or repeated probation or parole violations.

An offender's profile may be listed as Not Leveled. "Not leveled" means that SORRB has not yet reviewed the case.

When an offender's profile is listed as Cannot Level (CNL), this means the case did not meet the legal criteria for risk classification at the time of review.
