Lee1 - R. Karl Hanson',2 Carmen L. Zabarauckas3'4 Received: 22 October 2015 /Accepted: 10 May 2017 /Published online: 1 June 2017 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2017, corrected publication October/2017 Abstract Although there is considerable research on Caucasian sexual offenders, there has been much less research on sex offenders of Asian heritage. The current study compared East Asian (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) sex offenders in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada, and other B.C. sex offenders on items and total score of Static-99R. This study included all provincially sentenced adult male sexual offenders (n = 4580) supervised in the community by B. C. Corrections (including 122 East Asian sex offenders). Sexual, violent, any crime, and any recidivism (including technical violations) data were collected with an average follow-up 4.3 years. The total scores of Static-99R were similar between East Asian sex offenders and other ethnic groups (M= 2.0 vs. M= 2.4). East Asian offenders scored significantly lower than other ethnic offenders on several items measuring general criminality (e.g., prior non-sexual violence, prior sentencing dates, and any prior sex offenses). In contrast, Asian offenders appeared to be more paraphilic (e.g., any convictions for non-contact sex offenses). Lastly, Static-99R significantly predicts sexual, violent, and criminal among sex offenders of East Asian heritage. Keywords Static-99R - Sex offenders - East Asian - Predictive accuracy We would like to thank the British Columbia Corrections for access to the data used in this study, Maaike Helmus for assistance with the data analysis, and Boram Kim for assistance with the Chinese translation.
