A halfway house for sexual offenders has been proposed for Arcadia City, a population of 100,000. You, as a forensic psychology professional, have been asked by the mayor to speak at a community town hall, where you will present the arguments for or against the halfway house.
For this Final Project develop a 12- to 16-slide presentation with speaker notes.
Provide an overview from the literature regarding different types of sex offenders (e.g., violent or nonviolent) and the risks involved with having each at the halfway house.
Explain the recidivism rates of each type of sex offender.
Describe three treatment methods and their effectiveness.
Describe the types of challenges those on the sex offender registry face.
Describe the use of the polygraph in the treatment of sex offenders.
Reference your state or regional sex offender management board recommendations. (I reside in New Jersey)
Using the Kaltura function in Blackboard, produce a video of you conducting the presentation. The video should be no longer than 10 minutes.
