Abstract

Highlights

• Decision-tree algorithms (DTA) can be used to examine the risk profiles of convicted offenders.

• DTA highlight the importance of the offender's age at assessment as key risk factor.

• DTA findings suggest that risk factors of sexual recidivism vary across age-groups.

• DTA provide comparable predictive value compared to that based on logistic regression.
