Evaluation of Risk for Sexual Violence using the SVR-20 V2
Presented by Stephen D. Hart, PhD
This self-paced training program on Evaluation of Risk for Sexual Violence using the SVR-20 V2 is presented by Stephen Hart, PhD.
Sexual violence—and, in particular, the diversity of both sexual violence and the people who commit sexual violence—presents tremendous challenges for professionals responsible for assessment and treatment. Actuarial risk assessment methods, which focus on identifying risk level based on statistical profiles, do little to assist identification of critical risk factors or the development of management plans in a given case. In this course, Dr. Hart discusses the use of structured professional judgment (SPJ) guidelines in sexual violence risk assessment. He begins by reviewing the SPJ approach, highlighting its potential strengths with respect to developing case formulations and management plans. Next, he will describe the Sexual Violence Risk-20 Version 2 (SVR-20 V2) and its administration procedures, focusing on its application to developing formulations (case conceptualizations) and management plans. Finally, participants practice the administration of the SVR-20 V2 in case studies.
