Description

Sexually Violent Persons (SVP) commitment laws in the United States require that forensic evaluators complete comprehensive assessments on often complicated cases. The adversarial nature of the commitment trial in which the evaluator may offer testimony as well as the need to balance liberty and community safety requires that SVP evaluators are knowledgeable, well-trained, and competent.

This full-day workshop is geared towards professionals who have background in risk assessment and are interested in becoming SVP evaluators, are relatively new to completing SVP evaluations, are established SVP evaluators who may wish to hone their skills, and attorneys who wish to know the ins and outs of the SVP evaluation process.
