Risk Assessment Tools
Jennifer Holt uses risk assessment tools to aid in predicting sexual and violent recidivism among adult, juvenile, and intellectually challenged male sex offenders. Jennifer has been qualified as an expert witness in risk assessment of, and treatment for, sexual offenders.
The results from a detailed risk assessment provide:
-
professional organizations and criminal defence lawyers with important information that will help them accurately structure their judgment of the individual.
-
the information necessary for arranging appropriate supervision and counselling intervention for each client.
Ultimately, through accurate assessment and counselling, Jennifer strives to accurately target the criminogenic needs of each client
she serves. This may lower their risk to reoffend and increase
public safety.
