The Sexually Violent Batterer: Assessing Risk in Dual Perpetrators
Research shows that domestic violence perpetrators who also sexually abuse their intimate partner are an exceptional group, a “different breed” of abuser that is potentially far more dangerous than one who physically abuses alone. Learn about the characteristics, tactics, and motives of so-called “dual perpetrators” and discover how to assess their behavior with an eye toward femicide prevention.
Participants will examine offender profiles, risk factors, victim screening practices, and the utility of actuarial assessment tools.
