HOSTED BY:

JAY P. SINGH, PHD is the internationally award-winning founder of the Global Institute of Forensic Research. 2015 Keynote Speaker at the Midatlantic Region Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (MARATSA), he completed his graduate studies in psychiatry at the University of Oxford.

Sexual recidivism risk assessments are increasingly required in correctional, mental health, and court settings in the United States. �is training will focus on the structured assessment and subsequent management of sex o�ender risk with a strong emphasis on the underpinnings of current practice recommendations and on reviewing the latest research �ndings concerning the accuracy of commonly used risk assessment tools. Which instruments are used, by whom, where, and for what purposes will be discussed, as will ratings of perceived usefulness in practice from the largest global survey ever conducted on this topic. Attendees can also expect to learn about current uncertainties being discussed in this quickly evolving �eld. �e lecture is aimed towards professionals working in correctional (jails, prisons, parole boards, probation o�cers) and mental health (psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers) settings as well as litigators and judges. �e goal of the training workshop is to teach attendees how to integrate risk assessment research into evidence-based practice and will highlight innovative new clinical strategies and services developed over the past year that may aid in this endeavor.
