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.
