The present study provides normative data for the Child Pornography Offender Risk Tool (CPORT) by aggregating individual-level data from six routine samples (N = 956) across Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. All cases were men adjudicated for child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSAEM) offenses. Meta-analyses revealed stable predictive accuracy for the CPORT across studies (AUCs = .728 and .713, respectively, for any sexual recidivism and for CSAEM-specific recidivism). Estimated recidivism rates increased with CPORT scores, ranging from 3% to 41% for any sexual reoffending and from 2% to 32% for CSAEM-specific reoffending. Risk ratios indicated that individuals with a CPORT score of 5 reoffended at approximately five times the rate of those with the median score (CPORT = 2), with even higher rates observed among those scoring 6. Percentile norms were also derived, with a median CPORT score of 2 corresponding to the 64th percentile in terms of risk for sexual recidivism. These CPORT norms can help facilitate improved risk communication and align practice with the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model.

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion
Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
