TOPIC:
 
Crimes involving sexual assault create unique problems and challenges for investigators, especially when those crimes occur within the walls of a correctional facility.  Identifying the nature of the sexual assault, the impact of inmate culture, and the complex nature of the investigation itself are just a few of the problems an investigator encounters when taking on a case involving prison or jailhouse rape.  It takes a highly trained investigator to recognize and effectively gather the evidence necessary to successfully prosecute these offenders.
  
"Prison Rape and Sex Assault Investigations Inside Correctional Facilities is a criminal investigation course developed pursuant to PREA standards 115.34 & 115.71, requiring investigators receive specialized training for conducting sex abuse investigation in confined settings."
  
By use of print materials, videos, pictures, and accounts of events that have occurred, this course will provide the attendee with the specialized training needed to investigate sex crimes that occur inside a correctional facility.
  
Training will cover:
  • Dynamics of Inmate Sexual Violence
  • Understanding Offender Psychology and Behavior
  • Suspect and Victim Interviews
  • Elements of an Effective Investigation
  • Anticipating the Suspect's Legal Defenses
  • Effective Report Writing
