Karl Hanson\, Ph.D.\, C.Psych.\n\nParticipants will learn how to adjust assessments of sexual recidivism risk based on the num ber of years that persons with a sexual offence history have been at-risk in the community without committing a new sexual offence. The initial part of the training provides an overview of the research and theory that just ify the time-free adjustments. Participants will then be taught an empiric al actuarial approach to making these adjustments using a pre-built EXCEL file. As well\, the training will address how these time- free adjustments could be reported in risk assessments.\n\n \;\n\n11am to 1pm Eastern via Zoom\n\n$75 per person\n\nRegistration is limited to 30 individuals.\n \n2 Continuing Education Credits will be offered.\n\nParticipants are aske d to download the time-free calculator onto their computers prior to the t raining.
