Sexual deviant behavior is “need” driven behavior. Sex offenders repeat their crimes because of this “need”. Therefore, there a exists a high probability of additional victims. Officers investigating and interviewing persons committing sex crimes, including sexual homicides, must understand the nature of this “need” driven behavior in order properly investigate and hold these sex offenders criminally responsible.
The core objective of this course is not to gain insight or understanding about why sex offenders act out against victims in order to help or treat them, but to recognize and assess how sex offenders act out against the victims in order to identify, arrest, and convict them. To reach this core objective, participants will be provided with what evidence to look for, whether there are additional victims, how to identify those victims, how to interview a suspect and what additional measures must be taken in the investigative process.
