Description: This multi-year project will rely in part on previous work conducted by NIC staff on this topic area which included the development of in-person training with supporting materials and an e-course resident on the NIC Learning Management System, entitled Addressing Staff Sexual Misconduct in Community Supervision. Access to this course may be gained by special permission through a request to the program manager at lbrisbin@bop.gov Foundational work for this project includes a literature review, and the review of existing research, state statutes, and administrative rules along with compiling of a recommended glossary. This information will be used in the development of a self-assessment policy guide for agencies that wish to examine their policies, practices and available training. The convening of a virtual working group of eight to ten subject matter experts to act as content contributors and/or reviewers is a required element of this project. The NIC program manager will assist with the identification and facilitation of this working group.
