IN-PERSON TRAINING DATE & LOCATION July 21-22, 2016 (Thursday-Friday) 223 James P. Brawley Drive SW Atlanta, GA 20005 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET) HOSTED BY J-SOAP-II TRAINING WITH THE DEVELOPERS The Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (J-SOAP-II) is a commonly-used risk/needs assessment tool for adolescents. Designed to aid in the systematic review of risk factors that have been identified in the professional literature as being associated with sexual and criminal behavior, the J-SOAP-II is designed to be used with boys aged 12 to 18 years who have been adjudicated for sexual crimes, as well as nonadjudicated youths with a history of sexually coercive behavior. Presented by the developers of the J-SOAP-II, this live and interactive workshop will train you in the use of this seminal instrument. Day 1 will include an overview of what is known about normative sexual behavior in juveniles, the characteristics of youths who sexually abuse, as well as risk and protective factors, assessment and risk assessment, and interventions that can facilitate effective interventions. On Day 2, the development of the J-SOAP-II will be discussed, item-by-item instructions will be given on how to reliably score the measure and interpret its findings, a review of the peer-reviewed research on the J-SOAP-II will be provided, and guidance will be put forth on how to apply J-SOAP-II reporting conventions. Case studies will be employed to allow you to practice using the tool's coding manual and to learn to avoid common administration errors.
