Course: Sex Offenders ~ What Every MDT Team Member Should Know
Course Description: Sex Offenders: What Child Abuse/Sexual Assault Professionals Should Know
Sex crime/child abuse investigators, prosecutors, judges, forensic interviewers, probation/parole officers, medical staff, child welfare workers, child/victim advocates and prevention workers should be familiar the various theories about the etiology of pedophilia and development of pro-offending attitudes, plus the more typical patterns of sexual offending (child sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, commercial sexual exploitation and internet crimes against children)committed by both juvenile and adult sex offenders. This presentation will highlight (via video taped interviews with various sex offenders) some of the more common pathways to developing deviant sexual interests and criminal sexual behavior. In addition, the presenter will review various studies that examine the number of detected vs. undetected offenders and sexual crimes occurring in our communities, the average degree of “cross-over” or “crime switching” behavior sex offenders engage in and a number of other related topics. Misconceptions about “re-offense” and “recidivism” rates and the expected outcomes for sex offender treatment will also be addressed.
