Room 2

Cory Jewell Jensen
Senior Trainer, CBI Consulting
This presentation will provide a brief review of some of the formation covered in Friday’s full day session regarding the various types of sexually criminal behavior, the rate of undetected sexual crimes occurring in our communities, the actual rates of “false allegation,” “cross-over” behavior and re-offense rates among sex offenders. In addition, information about the strategies sex offenders report using to target certain victims and “get away with it” will be addressed. Participants will have a chance to watch several video-taped interviews with sexual offenders about “how and why” they committed sexual crimes.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will develop an understanding of the process involved developing a sexual interest/preference for children and the pro-offending attitudes that support and allow for child sex abuse and other criminal sexual behavior.
- Participants will gain information about the typical number and patterns involved in undetected sexual crimes committed by sex offenders.
- Participants will gain information about some of the unique differences between male and female, adult and juvenile sex offenders.

Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the most common presentations of Abusive Head trauma.
- Discuss additional medical evaluations that can be done to support or exclude the diagnosis of abusive head trauma.

Program Manager, National Criminal Justice Training Center of Fox Valley Technical College
This workshop will identify child-centered investigative protocols for law enforcement and CPS when responding to reports of a juvenile (adolescent and younger children) perpetrated child sexual abuse or exploitation. Discussion will include how the expanded use of technology by minors has led to an increase in facilitated and learned behaviors and the importance of identifying these outside influences.
Learning Objectives:
- Define child-centered investigation.

This workshop is intended for multidisciplinary professionals who wish to expand their understanding of utilizing narrative event practice and narrative prompts when interviewing children with disabilities. Recent research indicates that children with disabilities have greater capacity for narratives than was previously understood. Participants will learn more about building narratives using the narrative mapping funnel and how to gather reliable information from children with disabilities.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will learn communication considerations when interviewing children with disabilities.
- Participants will be able to describe accommodations that can be made when interviewing children with disabilities.
- Participants will have increased understanding of how best practices in interviewing can be applied to interviewing children with disabilities.
Protecting Our Children: “Advice From Child Molesters”- A Child Safety and Crime Prevention Program
Thursday, November 17

Room 2
Live
Cory Jewell Jensen
Senior Trainer, CBI Consulting
Participants will have an opportunity to review Oregon’s grassroots prevention project – “Protecting our Children: Advice From Child Molesters.” Initially developed by two veteran sex offender treatment providers, “PYC” has grown into a multi-state, multi-disciplinary child abuse prevention campaign. The project was designed to educate parents, youth service staff, educators, community volunteers and the faith community about child sexual abuse, offender behavior, risk management and more effective prevention strategies. Workshops challenge public misperceptions about children’s ability to protect themselves and promote the idea that all adults must be informed and take an active role in confronting offender behavior and promoting child safety. Information about grooming behavior, Internet crimes, victim advocacy, reporting, sexual behavior between children and talking to children about child sexual abuse are covered. Potential project benefits such as jury education and early intervention with potential offenders are expected. Classes are taught by child abuse detectives, child/victim advocates, prosecutors, probation/parole officers and sex offender treatment providers.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will understand some of the deficits inherent in early models of child sex abuse prevention models.
- Participants will be able to describe the benefits derived from adult focused child abuse prevention education.
- Participants will be able to describe some of the problems related to promoting adult focused child abuse prevention education.

LMSW, Senior Director, Modell Consulting
Have you ever been interviewing a child with disabilities and felt stuck? When that little voice in your head says “Oh no, what do I do now?” or even worse “this interview is over” you may have more options than you think. This workshop is intended to introduce multidisciplinary team members to new ways to overcome blocks and barriers in an interview and some techniques on how to prevent blocks and barriers from presenting in the first place. Sometimes it takes pre-interview considerations and accommodations, other times it’s in the moment. From multi-session interviews to ensuring that the process is clear and predictable to victims, this session will encourage policies and procedures to empower victims with disabilities and make interviews as accessible as possible to this population.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to explain new ways of overcoming blocks and barriers in interviews with children with disabilities.
- Participants will understand the use of new techniques when working with children who engage in perseveration.
- Participants will learn how to gather additional information about how to reduce blocks and barriers through pre-interview considerations.
If They Knew What I Was Thinking: What Sex Offenders Can Teach Us About Interviewing
Thursday, November 17

Room 2
Live
Cory Jewell Jensen
Senior Trainer, CBI Consulting
This presentation examines the relationship between confession rates and sex offender characteristics (i.e., offender age, relationship to victim, personality type, offense history and prior experience with the criminal justice system). In addition, several studies that investigated the effectiveness of various interviewer styles (investigator demeanor and approach) will be reviewed. Lastly, the presenter will provide anecdotal comments (from 121 admitting adult male sex offenders) related to the thoughts and concerns they had while they were initially being interviewed by detectives. Comments focus on the reason they declined to be interviewed, lied about their behavior or confessed. Video clips will be used to illustrate some of the specific skills used by police to enable offenders to confess, along with recommendations for specific interview comment/questions from 26 veteran child abuse detectives from 10 law enforcement agencies in Oregon.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will review the research related to overall confession rates with sex offenders and the factors that inhibit and increase confession rates.
- Participants will review the various interviewer styles that appear to increase confession rates.
- Participants will review the various offender characteristics that increase and decrease confession rates.
