Training Title: Living with Children Evaluations: Assessing Whether Adults with Sexual-Offense Histories Can Safely Live with Children
This exam contains 20 questions. In order to receive credit, you MUST answer at least 16 questions correctly. You may attempt the quiz as many times as you’d like.

1. Which of the following is NOT one of the four main referral reasons for Living with Children (LWC) evaluations by New Jersey parole?
2. True or false? Even individuals with very high STATIC-99R scores can eventually reach risk levels comparable to the general population if they remain offense-free long enough.
3. Relapse prevention (RP) plans primarily focus on:
4. Unstructured professional judgment shows what level of predictive accuracy?
5. The presentation discusses how structured professional judgement (SPJ) advocates believe “any one risk factor can make someone high or low risk,” using examples of someone with no risk factors threatening suicide versus someone in a coma with many risk factors. What fundamental assumption about risk assessment does this challenge?
6. When performing a standard sexual offense risk assessment, which two factors are identified as the best practices in sex offense risk assessment?
7. How many items does the STABLE-2007 contain?
8. True or false? The STATIC-99R assesses historical risk factors associated with sexual recidivism.
9. After how many years do most sexual offenders reach desistance?
10. What percentage is cited as the spontaneous out-of-the-blue rate of first-time sexual offenses by the general population?
11. The Child Pornography Offender Risk Tool (CPORT) is a newer instrument developed specifically for assessing which type of offenders?
12. What is the approximate recidivism rate for female ICSOs?
13. The Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC) contains how many risk factors?
14. True or false? In the ROSAC scoring system, a score of 2 represents “present.”
15. The ROSAC helps the evaluator weigh all of the following EXCEPT:
16. Which of the following child characteristics does NOT increase risk according to the Child at Risk Considerations?
17. Why does the presenter argue that standard sexual offense risk assessment tools are insufficient for LWC evaluations?
18. Why is combining STATIC-99R scores with STABLE-2007 scores problematic for individuals who have been offense-free for years?
19. In the case example, Mr. X scores low on both static and dynamic risk measures after 14 years offense-free. However, the ROSAC still identifies concerns. What conceptual principle does this illustrate about LWC evaluations?
20. The presenter describes facing an “evaluator’s problem” where refusing to answer legally mandated questions means the client will simply find someone else who will. What ethical principle does this dilemma illustrate about forensic practice?
