ABSTRACT

The following is an example of a form I developed to be completed on each sex offender. The purpose is to provide the probation or parole officers, as well as family members, with a clear picture of the most important factors to watch for. Should the offender engage in any contact with the identified potential victim pool or risk situations, immediate intervention is warranted. This is by no means a complete profile or modus operandi, but rather a beginning. Only those factors or situations associated with the specific offender are identified; for example, by checking the items related to the offender or by crossing out items not pertaining to the offender. This is a quick way to identify risk factors specific to each offender.
