Supervision of Homeless Sex Offenders

SESSION INFO

Tuesday, February 27, 2024
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop

According to US Census there are nearly 600,000 homeless individuals in the United States with roughly 70% of those individuals having been arrested for a crime at some point in their lives; some of which have been convicted of very serious crimes. The supervision of both sex offenders and homeless individuals presents unique challenges. When the two are combined, those challenges can be exacerbated and present some potentially dangerous situations. Participants in this workshop will collaborate on how they supervise these offenders, learn what Maricopa County does in supervising these individuals, and discover strategies they can use to supervise these offenders in their community.
