Sexual Abuse Treatment, Research, Resource, and Referral Homepage
Sexual deviancy has proliferated every segment of our society. In many states, sexual offenders account for nearly 30% of the total prison population. Moreover, there are over 140,000 reported cases of sexual abuse in the United States every year. It is very important to remember that between 30%-50% of all reported sexual crimes are committed by juveniles; therefore, recognition to this growing problem must increase.
This seminar will focus on the different profiles and characteristics for juvenile and adult sex offenders and sexually reactive children. Further, you will learn about the victimology of sexual offenders as well as grooming techniques. We will also explore interviewing tactics and evaluation methods. Continuing Education Credits (6.5) offered for Florida Clinical Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists.
Learning Objectives:
This seminar series will provide each registrant with an extensive amount of information, handouts, assessment tools, and resources. Each attendee will receive a free PDF version copy of Mr. Rosenberg's book, Understanding, Assessing, & Treating Sexual Offenders: Tools for the Therapist. There will also be video clips and training exercises. Finally, the training will provide a sound foundation for understanding adolescent and adult sexual offenders, their mode of operation, and victimology.
