Online Training Description
Citizens in all communities continue to express concern regarding the risk posed by persons who have sexually offended. Legislators and law enforcement agents have attempted to manage risk by instituting measures of official control, such as sex offender registries, GPS monitoring, and residency restrictions. However, the scientific literature suggests that while such measures are high in face validity (and garner community support), they may not actually accomplish their intended goal. Alternatively, some jurisdictions have used models of intensive supervision to promote community safety (e.g., containment, public protection panels). The empirical literature speaks to the relative effectiveness of these attempts at risk management, identifying both strengths and weaknesses. This workshop will summarize the history of community management of sexual violence risk, with a focus on current approaches. Successes, failures, and future directions will be discussed.
Attendees will learn …
1) That community-based risk posed by persons who have sexually offended is generally manageable.
2) To compare and contrast legislative measures employed to contain sexual violence risk.
3) That team approaches or collaborations are most effective in promoting community reintegration
4) To critically appraise the value-added of non-traditional partners in risk management.
5) That desistance from sexual offending is possible, even for persons at relative high-risk.

Is this training focused on adults, juveniles, or does it address both populations?
Hi Chuck! GREAT question. It will be more focused on adults generally. However, I’ll be hosting and I have a lot of experience in the juvenile realm, so your questions and discussion would be welcome. It would take the form of my adding my input and turning the question into a question with Robin Wilson. I hope that makes sense and helps. I hope you can make it; otherwise, we’ll be having other trainings that are more juvenile-specific in the future. 🙂
I’m very watch this but I can’t make that time. Will this be recorded so I could view it later?
Hello
I have the same question as Rhys above. I also cannot be available on the date of the training but would love to participate. Will this training be recorded for viewing at a later time?
