Sample Letter A 10/12/04 John Doe Superintendent of School District ### 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Probationville IL, #####-#### Dear Mr. Doe, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Joe Blow and I am a probation officer in Probationville County. I work with juveniles who have committed sexual offenses. My supervision of these individuals requires that I monitor their actions and provide them with structure so that hopefully they will refrain from further criminal offenses and not create new victims. If it is possible, I would like to speak with you about ways in which we could collaborate in enhancing this supervision process. If you are interested, I can provide you with information on school safety contracting with juveniles who have committed sexual offenses. I also work with a therapist that specializes in this area and the two of us are willing and able to provide you and your staff with training to assist in dealing with these difficult issues. Our services would be free of charge to you and your school. If the idea of combining our efforts to maintain school and public safety sounds appealing to you, please call me at *********** Ext. **** during normal business hours so we can discuss the particulars of how this can come to fruition. I look forward to hearing from you. ___________________ Joe Blow Probationville County Juvenile Probation

Reference Information for Myths and Facts about Sex Offending

The topic of sex offending is viewed as sensitive and unpleasant by most people in our society resulting in its failure to be openly discussed in an informative manner. Unfortunately, this means that most individuals get their limited understanding about sex offending from television shows that provide inaccurate information and/or from sensationalistic stories in the news media. Instead of clarifying the issues surrounding sex offending, these sources tend to create more myths. The intention of the following Myth and Fact list is to educate people about sex offending by separating fact from fiction. It is hoped that with this information people and institutions can better focus their time and effort to prevent sexual offending.

Directions: Please read the following list of Myths and Facts. Note that the Myths provide the reader with false information about sex offending issues and that the following Fact provides the reader with accurate (true) information about sex offending issues.

1) Myth: Most sexual crimes are committed by strangers.

Fact: Most victims know the person that sexually abuses them (Oates, 1990; Elliott et al., 1995; Davis and Leitenberg, 1987; Rassmussen, 1999). A close personal relationship makes it easier for the offender to misuse trust and manipulate the victim. A victim’s close bond with the offender can also place emotional pressure on the victim making them less likely to report the injustice.

2) Myth: Most sexual offenses are committed by someone of a minority race.

Fact: In general, the demographic differences for race between sex offenders and the general population are nonexistent (Abel and Harlow, 2001).

3) Myth: Sex offenses are mainly committed for sexual gratification.

Fact: Sex offenses typically involve many motives and factors besides problematic sexual arousal (Marshall and Barbaree, 1990; Malamuth, 1986: Gerber, 1994). These factors may include problems dealing with anger, a need for feeling powerful and in control, a desire to frighten, degrade, or humiliate a victim, an attempt to feel accepted, etc.

4) Myth: Women often lie about being sexually assaulted.

Fact: Women tend to dramatically under report rape (Russell, 1984).

6

5) Myth: Children frequently lie about being sexually abused.

Fact: Children rarely make up stories of being sexually abused. Children lack sufficient knowledge of sexuality to describe things they have not experienced. More often they fail to report or admit to having been sexually abused due to fear that they will be blamed, in order to protect the offender, etc. It is important not to discredit a child’s report of sexual abuse. Research indicates that children tend to report child sexual abuse with accuracy (Goodman, 1984).

6) Myth: Sex offenders are “sick” or “crazy”.

Fact: Although sex offenders may have difficulties involving self-esteem, emotional management, abusive sexual thoughts, etc. they are not typically mentally ill (Webster et al., 1982; Becker, as cited in Ferra and McDonald, 1996; Johnson, as cited in Ferra and McDonald, 1996). In fact, most sex offenders are fairly average in many areas of their lives (employment, marital status, social life, etc.) – they often look very “normal” to most observers.

7) Myth: Adult Child molesters are different from most people.

Fact: Adult Child molesters do not differ from the general population when it comes to marital status, education, employment status and religion. Most child molesters, like the general population, are married or have been married, have a job and have a religious affiliation (as reported in Abel and Harlow, 2001).

8) Myth: Most child victims of sexual abuse disclose the abuse soon after it occurs.

Fact: a large proportion of childhood victims of sexual abuse do not disclose being sexually abused until they are into their adulthood (Finkelhor, 1979; Sauzier, 1989).

9) Myth: Child molestation is most frequently observed at playgrounds, schools and amusement parks.

Fact: Sexual abuse can occur at any place or at any time and to anyone. Sexual abuse knows no boundaries.

10) Myth: Sexual abuse cannot occur in less than a minute.

Fact: Sexual abuse can begin and end in a matter of seconds. It only takes a moment for an offender to violate someone.

11) Myth: Rape can be avoided if the victim stays out of “dangerous areas”.

Fact: The FBI indicates that the majority of reported rapes occur in the home of the: 1) victim, 2) offender, or 3) another individual.

7

12) Myth: Victims really want to be raped. Fact: It is ridiculous to assume that victims want to be forced into an activity that might result in: an unwanted pregnancy, the contraction of a STD, emotional scarring and/or physical harm. 13) Myth: Rape victims are “asking for it” if they are dressed in a sexually provocative fashion. Fact: Dressing in a “sexually provocative way” is a matter of opinion. Some clothing may be considered “stylish” and is not intended to be “sexually provocative”. A person’s dress does not give anyone the permission to commit a sexually abusive act.

14) Myth: Children can act seductively and invite sexual contact.

Fact: Children do not have the ability to invite or give consent to sexual contact with an older person because they lack sufficient understanding of sexuality with its complexities and all the consequences that are involved. Further, the greater emotional and physical power of an older individual renders the child unable to make an equal decision to be sexual. Although a child may “go along” with a sexual offense out of fear, lack of understanding, etc. this does not equate with consent. It is also important to note that sex offenders commonly use a child’s needs for affection, attention, and desire to please an adult to manipulate the child into being sexual. They also commonly inaccurately view the child’s natural need for acceptance as being sexual.

15) Myth: Only men are sex offenders. Fact: Although the majority of sex offenders are male, females are well documented as committing sex offenses, particularly against children. It is estimated approximately 20% of male victims and 5% of female victims of sexual abuse have been victimized by women (Finkelhor & Russell, 1984). Other studies have also indicated a similar trend with juvenile females (e.g., Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, English and Ray as cited in Araji, 1997).

16) Myth: Children always tell someone if they are sexually abused, and if they don’t tell then they enjoyed the sexual contact.

Fact: It is most likely that in the majority of cases a child does not tell of being abused (Arata, 1998; Ruback, 1993; Williams, 1984; Wyatt & Newcomb, 1990; Lawson and Chaffin 1992). This may be due to fear that they will be blamed for doing something wrong, threats by the offender, feelings of shame, etc. It is not the case that they wanted the sexual contact as they lack the maturity to give consent.

17) Myth: Only those with “loose morals” are sexually abused.

8

Fact: Anyone can be sexually abused regardless of their age, race, sex, marital status, size, amount of physical strength, income, profession, standing in the community, family background, area of residence, etc. 18) Myth: Only beautiful women are sexually abused. Fact: Anyone can be sexually abused regardless of attractiveness. This myth assumes that sex is the primary and only motivating force behind sex offending. Sex offenses are often times the maladaptive vehicle that offenders use to meet other needs (e.g., feeling powerful, dominant, and in control).

19) Myth: Men and boys can't be sexually assaulted.

Fact: Although males are sometimes thought to be invulnerable to being sexually abused (particularly men who are more likely to be incorrectly viewed as always being able to defend themselves), anyone is a potential victim of sexual assault. In fact, the U.S. Dept. of Justice-National Crime Victimization Survey 2000 found that 5.6% of all rape victims are male. Further, 1 in 6 boys are victims of sexual abuse by the age of 18. Any male could be sexually abused regardless of their physical size, age, sexual orientation, etc. Often males are assaulted by other males, whether as individuals or in groups.

20) Myth: Sexual Abuse is rare.

Fact: The National Victims Center says a sexual assault occurs every 6 minutes in the U.S. Approximately 25%-30% of all women will be sexually assaulted. And approximately 20%-30% of all men will be victims before they are 18. Only 1 out of 10 sexual assaults are ever reported to law enforcement. In addition, over 3 million cases (roughly the population size of Chicago) of child abuse were reported in the U.S.A. in 1995 (Daro and Mc Curdy, 1995).

21) Myth: A victim is not really being sexually abused if they are not physically forced into the activity.

Fact: Physical force is not always present during sexual abuse. Offenders may resort to using threats of violence, intimidation, manipulation and trickery as a substitute weapon for physical force to aide them in committing sexual abuse.

22) Myth: Once your partner is sexually aroused, they must be willing to “go all the way sexually”.

Fact: Just because your partner agrees to some sexual activities does not mean that they must agree to all sexual activities. You and your partner have the right to say “Yes” and “No” to any sexual activity at any point. Both parties must agree to the proposed sexual action in order for it to be consensual.

9

23) Myth: If a rape victim does not say "no", resist, or fight back then he or she must have consented to sex (i.e. there was no sexual assault).

Fact: Victims frequently do not say no or resist in any way for several reasons such as fear of being killed or seriously harmed. During a sexual assault a victim commonly fears that the offender is capable of other forms of violence in addition to the sexual assault (even if there is no apparent “force”), and he or she may fear that resisting will anger the offender increasing risk of harm. Further, a victim may be too frightened or shocked to resist. In some cases the victim may be intoxicated, rendering him or her incapable of resisting. It is important to understand that cooperation during an abusive situation is not the same as consent.

24) Myth: The offender is not responsible for a sex offense if they were under the influence or drugs and/or alcohol at the time they committed the offense. Fact: Being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol does not give anyone the right to do as they please nor does it relieve personal responsibility. The offender that abused chemical substances made a personal choice to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and by default accepted the fact that their behavior might be erratic.

25) Myth: Sometimes sex offenders offend because they are drunk or high.

Fact: Although the decreased inhibitions and judgment involved with being under the influence of drugs or alcohol may make a sexual offense more likely it is not the cause. It is very unlikely that a person who is not prone to sexual offending while sober would do so simply because he or she was under the influence. According to Greenfeld (1998) approximately 30% of all reported sexual assaults involve alcohol use by the offender. Therefore, alcohol use may increase the chances that someone already predisposed to commit sexual abuse will act out accordingly. However, alcohol use is not a primary cause of sexual abuse.

26) Myth: Saying “No” to sex really means “Yes”. Fact: “No” can only mean one thing, “No”. Consenting sex does not involve a refusal to participate by one of the parties. Saying “No” at any point during a sexual encounter must be respected. 27) Myth: Sexually abusive acts are impulsive. Fact: Many offenders plan their sexually abusive actions out before they commit their offenses. These plans can be very intricate and can involve a number of thoughts that justify their actions.

28) Myth: A victim of sexual abuse never experiences pleasure during the offense.

10

Fact: The human body naturally responds to certain types of touch in pleasurable ways. This can occur even during a sexual offense (even to the point of orgasm). In fact, many sexual abuse victims experience guilt and confusion because of such pleasurable sensations (e.g. questioning if it really was abuse, whether they “wanted” sex) which can make the consequences of the abuse more difficult to deal with (this may be increased further if the abuse was one of the few signs of “affection” that they received). The experience of physical pleasure on the victim’s part does not at all mean that they were not sexually abused. Further, some sex offenders use physical pleasure on the victim’s part as a means to manipulate the victim for compliance, decrease their chance of the victim reporting the abuse, increase their sense of control or sexual arousal, or justify their sexually abusive actions. 29) Myth: Homosexuality and pedophilia are the same thing. Fact: Homosexuality is a sexual preference for members of the same sex. Pedophilia simply put, is a sexual preference for prepubescent children. These are two very different sexual preferences. 30) Myth: Most child molestation victims are boys. Fact: Most child molestation victims are girls (Davis and Leitenburg, 1987, Fehrenbach et al., 1986, Hunter and Figueredo, 1999, Miner, Siekert and Ackland, 1997). 31) Myth: Most pedophiles are homosexual men. Fact: There is no evidence to suggest this notion. Some people view homosexuality as a “deviant sexual lifestyle” and come to the erroneous conclusion that this “perceived deviancy” extends to a pervasive interest in sexually abusing children. Pedophilia involving females is more common than pedophilia involving males (Diagnostic Statistical Manual 4th Edition Text Revised, 2000). 32) Myth: All acts of child molestation are committed by pedophiles. Fact: Pedophilia involves a strong sexual preference for prepubescent children. In addition to sexual interests in children, individuals with a pedophilia diagnosis may also have strong sexual desires for adults of consenting age. In order for pedophilia to be present, it must be in existence for a period at least 6 months (see Diagnostic Statistical Manual 4th Edition Text Revised [2000] for the complete details on the diagnostic criteria for Pedophilia). In other words, the act of committing child molestation alone will not always result in a diagnosis of pedophilia. Pedophilia is a clinical diagnosis that should only be applied by trained professionals in the mental health field.

33) Myth: The majority of sexual offenders are arrested and convicted and are eventually placed in prison. Fact: Sexual abuse is a silent crime that often goes unnoticed and is not always reported (Kilpatrick, Edmunds, and Seymour, 1992, Abel et al., 1987). Victims are also sometimes reluctant to report that they were abused because of a number of reasons (e.g., fear of retribution from the offender, concern that they might not be believed) which results in offenders not being held accountable. In addition, sex offense cases are difficult to prove in court which means that some offenders may not be prosecuted and may never receive sanctions (Willis, 1993). 34) Myth: All sex offenders will reoffend.

Fact: Although it is often believed that many, if not most, sex offenders recidivate with new sexual crimes, available data indicates otherwise. The recidivism rate for adult child molesters is 12.7%, for rapists is 18.9%, and for sex offenders in general is 13.4% during a 4 to 5 year follow-up time period (Hanson and Bussière, 1998). The recidivism rate for juveniles with sexual behavior problems is similar to these findings (Epperson et. al., 2004). 35) Myth: The best approach for dealing with a juvenile that has committed a sexual offense is for him/her to be reminded of it on a regular basis. Fact: This myth tends to reinforce the idea that a juvenile who commits a sex offense is little more than a “sex offender” which may label the individual. Although their crime(s) may be reprehensible it is important to remember that an individual who has committed a sex offense is more than just a sex offender. Labeling them in such a simplistic manner could increase risk for sexual recidivism as it may increase stress for the individual and contribute to a self-fulfilling prophesy. 36) Myth: Sex abuse only involves forced intercourse (i.e. rape). Fact: Sex offenses may involve a variety of deviant sexual acts that include the following: fondling of genitals and breasts, exposing of genitals, “peeping”, etc. In fact, the majority of sex offenders do not reach the point of rape, although it is important to be aware that any sex offense can have significant effects on a victim (even what appears to be a “less serious” offense can have serious consequences). 37) Myth: All sex offenders were victims. Fact: Although a fairly high percentage of sex offenders had been sexually abused in their past this is by no means consistent across all offenders (Groth, 1979; Hanson & Slater, 1988; Knopp, 1984). 38) Myth: Sex offenders can’t be helped.

12

Fact: Although there is no guarantee that a sex offender won’t reoffend, sex offense specific treatment can be effective in helping most offenders maintain a lower risk for reoffense. Research indicates that those that complete treatment are significantly less likely to reoffend sexually (Hanson and Bussière, 1998; Hall, 1995). 39) Myth: Sex offenders can be cured. Fact: The action of committing another sexual offense is treatable but not curable. Curable implies that the behavior of sex offending could never occur again. No one can really ever be sure of this. 40) Myth: Sex offenders only abuse certain people in certain ways. Fact: Individuals that commit sexual offense often commit a variety of sexual offenses other than the one for which they were identified. This is known as “crossover sex offending”. There are a number of studies that indicate that crossover offending is common (Abel et al., 1983 & 1988; Smith, Seavey and White- NAPN poster session 2004; English, Lowden, Harrison, Hagler, Rodriguez, and DiTrolio, study of 116 juvenile polygraph test reports, Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, February, 2002, presentation to the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board, Denver, Colorado). 41) Myth: “I think he learned his lesson – he won’t do that again”. Fact: Although a quite high proportion of sex offenders don’t reoffend, it is hazardous to assume that simply being punished is enough to redirect any given offender. Further, the manner of thinking in this myth makes it seem safe to ignore safety planning which increases risk of reoffense. 42) Myth: The best safety plan is always the most restrictive. Fact: It is important to match a safety plan to the offender’s current risk level, current environmental considerations (e.g. family, school, work), etc. in order to optimally manage risk of sexual recidivism. While an insufficiently restrictive safety plan would increase risk of sexual recidivism, an overly restrictive safety plan can be problematic as well. First, the most restrictive safety plan is costly in terms of staff time. Second, an overly restrictive safety plan unnecessarily restricts options and activities that are necessary for a “normal life”. This can lead to too many excessive restrictions and may create a feeling of hopelessness where the offender gives up on the safety plan all together. 43) Myth: Safety plans always work. Fact: A safety plan is a guide to minimize risk of sexual reoffense, but it is not a guarantee that a reoffense won’t occur.

13

44) Myth: Juvenile sex offenders are rare. Fact: Various studies estimate that approximately 20% of all rapes and between 30% and 50% of child molestations are perpetrated by adolescent males (Becker et al., 1986; Brown et al., 1984; Deisher et al., 1982; Groth et al., 1982). 45) Myth: Juvenile sex offenders would never be placed in a public school. Fact: As juveniles who have committed sexual offenses most often have to attend school they will most certainly be in public school (unless they are in IDOC, private school, or GED classes). 46) Myth: A report of suspected sexual abuse to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) will always result in a finding. Fact: Of the 8,825 total cases of sexual abuse that were reported in the fiscal year 2004, 32.4%were indicated by DCFS (http://www.state.il.us/DCFS/docs/execstat.pdf, 2004). 47) Myth: Juveniles that have committed sexual offenses in Illinois can be found on the internet with their picture. Fact: Only adults that have been convicted of a sexual offense can be found with their picture on the internet. More information about sex offender registration can be found at the following web addresses: 1) http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/faq.htm 2) http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/frames.htm. 48) Myth: All sex offenders have to register as a “sex offender” in the state of Illinois. Fact: As stated earlier, not all sexual offenses are reported nor or all offenders convicted. In addition, some sex offense cases are plea bargained to non-sexual offenses (e.g., Battery) and do not require registration. Thus, the sex offender registration list underestimates the number of sex offenders that are in the state of Illinois. 49) Myth: Once a youth’s risk for sexual reoffending has been established, it will remain constant into adulthood. Fact: Developmental changes for juveniles occur very rapidly during the adolescent years. Because of these rapid changes that can influence risk, it is recommended that a juvenile be re-evaluated for sexual reoffending after a period of at most 2 years or following significant life changing events (Worling and Curwen, 2001).

14

50) Myth: All juveniles that commit sexual offenses go to residential treatment. Fact: It is not possible to send all juveniles that have committed a sexual offense to residential treatment due to the fact that residential treatment may cost anywhere from $80,000.00 to over $100,000.00 per year. A residential placement usually lasts 12 to 24 months. This means that a county would spend anywhere from $160,000.00 to $200,000.00 on an average placement for a juvenile that has committed a sexual offense. To send all juveniles that commit sexual offenses to residential treatment would consequently not be feasible to due to the cost. Counties are also faced with spending money for residential placements on other types of juvenile offenders. Therefore there is competition for these placement monies amongst the various types of youthful offenders which prohibit all juveniles that have committed a sexual offense from going to residential treatment. Residential placement monies are reserved for the highest risk offenders regardless of what their crimes were. It is also important to mention that residential treatment may not be appropriate for some juveniles.

Juvenile # 1

Item Data 1) Juveniles age 13 2) Grade 7th attends Middle School (grades 6 to 8) 3) Criminal History None 4) Incarceration History None 5) GPA 3.4 6)School Suspension/Expulsion History None 7) School Activities Basketball Starter, Band 8) Treatment History None 9) Medication History None 10) Sex Offense Risk Assessment Results Low risk to sexually recidivate General Information: Juvenile #1 committed his sexual offense by sexual abusing his 6 year old biological sister. The offense occurred at his home while babysitting. The offense happened when his sister was sitting on his lap playing a video game. Juvenile #1 reported that his sister’s movements on his lap gave him an erection. His sister noticed that her brother had an erection and asked him what it was. He then asked his sister to touch his penis. She then touched his penis over his pants. When she did this, he felt guilty and told her to immediately stop. He then asked her to get off his lap. This incident was later corroborated by his sister. When the children’s parents came home from dinner, the boy’s sister mentioned the incident that had occurred. Juvenile #1 immediately admitted to the offense and told his parents that they should call the police because, “I must be sick if I did that”. His parents immediately called the police and had him arrested for his offense. Juvenile #1 was immediately enrolled in therapy after this incident. His therapist describes him as being “compliant, remorseful and guilt ridden”. His probation officer describes him by saying that with the exception of committing a sex offense, Juvenile #1 appears to be an average teenager. His teachers report that he is well liked by peers even though he is somewhat shy. His father drives him to school. Therapist Report: Psychological testing (i.e. Abel Assessment for Sexual Interest) reveals that he does not appear to have sexual interests in children. He does not appear to have problems with: emotional control, impulse control, crossover sex offending, stress management or significant social skills deficits. Juvenile #1 has been receptive to treatment and is very cooperative. His quality relationship with both of his parents has been a great benefit for him in his therapeutic growth. He is open during therapy sessions and is motivated. He has been involved in therapy for 6 months.

Juvenile # 2 Item Data 1) Juveniles age 16 2) Grade 10th 3) Criminal History None 4) Incarceration History 2 weeks in detention from sex offense 5) GPA 2.6 6)School Suspension/Expulsion History Skipping 3 X’s in 9th grade, 1 X in 10th 7) School Activities None 8) Treatment History Anger management his 9th grade year 9) Medication History Prozac for depression 10) Sex Offense Risk Assessment Results Moderate risk to sexually recidivate General Information: Juvenile #2 committed his sexual offense by sexually abusing two boys who were 7 and 8 years of age. The 8 year old boy was a neighbor and the 7 year old was a friend of the 8 year old boy. Juvenile # 2 did not know the 7 year old until the day of the sex offense. Juvenile # 2 sexually abused the two boys by masturbating them. He stated to the police that he decided to masturbate the boys after they told him that they did not want him to perform oral sex on them. The sex offense was discovered when one of the boys told his father that Juvenile #2 had been rubbing his penis. When the police interviewed Juvenile #2, he initially denied that he had done anything wrong. He later said that he lied about the offense because he was worried about being arrested and going to prison where he might get beaten up or raped. His mother had trouble believing that the offense had occurred until her son admitted it to her. She is no longer in denial but struggles with her son’s offending. She says that this is due her own history of being sexually abused when she was a child. Juvenile #2’s probation officer describes him as being compliant for the most part but says that he needs to stay on top of him to get him to pay his court fines. His teachers describe him as being, “sometimes moody but not a major conduct problem”. He now lives across town in a new neighborhood. His mother takes him to school. Therapist Report: Psychological testing reveals that Juvenile #2 has difficulties with depression that require medication. He is in need of anger management as part of his therapy. His anger is typically turned inward against himself instead of towards others. He does not appear to have problems with: impulse control, crossover sex offending, stress management or significant social skills deficits.

Several Anger Management Programs, Completed Sex Offender Therapy at 14 years of age with minimal success

9) Medication History Ritalin for ADHD 10) Sex Offense Risk Assessment Results High risk to sexually recidivate General information: Juvenile #3 has committed sexual offenses at ages 14 and 16. Both sex offenses involved him sexually abusing boys between 6 and 8 in the showers of the YMCA and at the local public pool. The sex offenses involved him requiring the younger boys to perform oral sex on him. Information about the latest sex offense came out once the client was in therapy. The Prosecution was unable to prove that oral sex took place in the second offense because the evidence was not very strong. A Battery conviction was the best that the Prosecution could do to make a charge stick. He minimizes the current offense by saying, “I am not gay and I know that I won’t do it again. I’m not stupid. I don’t know what the big deal is.” While in the IL. Department of Corrections (IDOC), it was reported by other incarcerated youth that Juveniles #3 would regularly expose his penis to other youths. Corrections staff could never catch Juvenile #3 committing this action. His behavior while in the IDOC was very cooperative and without incident. Juvenile #3 is on probation for 3 years. His probation officer describes him as being “a handful”. His mother reports that her son is a “good boy” and says that nobody understands him. She says that she will do anything to help her son now that she is out of rehab. Juvenile #3 describes his mother as a “bitch” when she drinks but as being “cool” when she is stoned. He currently rides the bus to school with several children. Therapist Report: His therapist has concluded that Juvenile #3 is at high risk to sexually recidivate. She suspects that his trespassing arrest was a voyeuristic act. She sees him as being highly sexualized and impulsive. She thinks that he would benefit from going to residential treatment. The county does not have enough money to place Juvenile #3 in a residential placement. His progress in sex offense specific treatment is poor. He has been in treatment for approximately 4 months. His treatment prognosis is considered poor. He recently admitted to a long history of committing frottage against females. His frottage may also extend to male peers.

Tips for School Safety Contracting

1) Make sure that releases of information are signed to allow parties to communicate.

2) Tailor the contract to a student’s risk after a sex offense specific evaluation/risk assessment.

3) Information sharing amongst MDT members is vital when creating and reviewing the School Safety Contract.

4) Informed supervisors should be trained. The extent of this training should be equal to the level of the supervisor’s involvement in the student’s life. Some informed supervisors will need specific training that will go beyond the basic training that this curriculum provides. The MDT should determine how much training the informed supervisors need.

5) Informed supervisors will: a. Have knowledge of student’s sex offending history. b. Be willing to provide supervision between the student with sexual

behavior problems and other vulnerable individuals. c. Be willing to enforce safety restrictions. d. Be willing to participate and report to the MDT. e. Pass a back ground check performed by the school. f. Not have a criminal record (i.e. felonies, violent offenses sex offenses).

This includes charges and convictions. g. Abide by mandated reporting laws. h. Respect student confidentiality. i. Be free of denial about the student’s offending history. j. Not minimize or blame others for the student’s sex offending. k. Be willing to support the student with sexual behavior problems

6) School Safety Contract information and sex offending information should only be shared with “need to know staff”. These individuals will be determined by the MDT.

7) Distribute copies of the School Safety Contract to all relevant parties. 8) The MDT will review the School Safety Contract one week after it has been

completed to make sure that it is working and is understood by all relevant parties. Contract revisions may need to be made if the contract is deficient or is problematic.

9) Review the contract at least once a year. It is preferable to review the contract when the students schedule changes (e.g., beginning of a new semester).

10) The MDT recognizes that the School Safety Contract will not take into consideration every risk situation that could be present in a school setting. An abbreviated safety contract may need to be put in place by the MDT if the student attends special events (e.g., football games, field trips, riding a school bus to a basketball game in another city) that are sponsored by the school.

11) If the School Safety Contract is not user friendly, then the MDT will make it so without compromising school safety.

12) The School Safety Contract should be created by the MDT and not by its individual members. The MDT will work together to maintain school safety.

School Safety Plan The following are guidelines designed to minimize risk of a sexual re-offense in the case of a known adolescent charged/convicted with such an offense in his/her history. General principles of this plan involve not only the minimization of such risk, but they also place a high priority on sensitivity to the needs of the victim. Whenever possible it is deemed essential that the needs of the victim be placed above the concerns of the offender. This applies to such matters as transportation to and from school, placement within classes, etc. The following list is not an exhaustive inventory of all things that need to be considered to promote safety. The multidisciplinary team will need to tailor safety plans for each individual school and for all individuals that are affected by the safety contract. Important Note: Some juveniles engage in what is know as “cross over” sex offending behavior. Therefore, they may be at risk to offend against other potential victims who do not fit the juvenile’s known offense pattern. Examples would be older children, same age peers, or adults, if a juvenile’s known history has been offending against younger children. Cross over sexual offending may involve sexually abusive acts against either gender regardless of the offender’s sexual offense of record. In addition, cross over sex offenses may involve different types of sexually abusive behaviors than the sexual offense of record. Finally, cross over offending may involve offenses against either family or non-family victims regardless of offense of record. I, _______________________agree to follow the following school safety contract designed for protection in my school and all school related activities. I am fully aware that following these rules is not a guarantee that the Illinois Department of Children Family Services will not investigate or take action if a risk of harm or other abuse exists. I also recognize that some of the recommendations may not actually be a concern right now, but that they may be in the future. Finally, I realize that victim sensitivity and the safety of all students will be considered the top priority any time rules are amended, added or deleted. Victim sensitivity and student safety are paramount.
