Preventing Staff Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders Workshop

Do Your Part: Take Action Against Sexual Misconduct

NCTI’s Preventing Staff Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders Workshop addresses the staff training recommendations of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (NPREC), and provides agencies with prevention and identification strategies to reduce incidences of staff/offender sexual misconduct. The current recommendations of the NPREC require criminal justice agencies to provide extensive training of new employees, and yearly training for all staff of adult and juvenile probation, parole and community corrections agencies, to include, staff and vendors of prisons, jails, and residential facilities.

This 4-hour workshop, accredited by APPA, provides a broad review of the Federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) and is intended to increase participants’ knowledge of the components of sexual abuse between staff and offenders. Participants will gain knowledge on how to effectively and properly respond to allegations of sexual abuses that may occur inside your agency or facility. This interactive and lively workshop allows participants to apply newly learned information using “real life” scenarios.
