Actually there is some evidence that actuarial measures are much better at predicting risk then clinical judgment. Howard Barbaree has presented on some of this, also I know it is part of Karl Hanson's work, or you could check out this web site from a traning last week offered by National Institure of Corrections (http://www.nicic.org/images/vidsex99/nic_03.jpg). The reason seems to be that clincians have a tendency to consider variables which do not seem to be related to risk (e.g., victim empathy, denial, treatment compliance, congeniality).
