The field of assessing women who have committed sexually motivated offenses continues to grow and evolve. The extant research literature provides an empirical basis for assessing women from a gendered perspective. This perspective is a person-centered strength-based approach that takes into consideration how gender affects patterns of offending for women (Pflugradt el al., 2018). As such, women who perpetrate sexually motivated offenses require risk and treatment assessment approaches that differ from approaches used with their male counterparts. This workshop provides empirically supported guidance related to assessing women who have committed sexually motivated offenses.
Training Topics Include:
- Pathways to offending by women
- Understanding a gendered approach (as opposed to a gender-sensitive or gender-neutral approach) to assessment and treatment
- Available risk assessment measures and protocols
- Reviewing the treatment needs of women who have sexually abused
As a result of this training, participants will be better able to:
1) Describe pathways to offending for women.
2) Identify recidivism base rates for sexual offending behavior perpetrated by women.
3) Explain why tools for men such as the static-99r and the stable-2007 should not be used when assessing risk in a female population.
4) Explain treatment assessment domains.
