HCR-2 V3 Practice Case Series | Correctional Facility and Re-sentencing
8 hours | 8 CEs
This on-demand professional training program is part of the HCR-20 V3 Practice Case Series on the topic of Correctional Facility | Re-sentencing is presented by Stephen Hart, PhD, Kelly Watt, PhD, and Brianne Layden, PhD, in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
This on-demand professional training program focuses on using the Historical Clinical Risk Management 20 Version 3 (HCR-20 V3) to assess and manage violence risk. Each of the practice cases is derived from real, sanitized cases across correctional and forensic psychiatric settings. Participants will sharpen and maintain their skills in administering the HCR-20 V3. This program includes an overview of the HCR-20 V3, a self-directed case review, completion of the HCR-20 V3 worksheet, and a case review/discussion. Participants should have experience administering the HCR-20 V3 before purchasing this program.
This case allows participants to practice administering the HCR-20 V3 with review from internationally recognized experts. Emphasis will be placed on rating the presence and relevance of each HCR-20 V3 item, formulating past violence, scenario planning about future violence, developing case management strategies and tactics, and providing summary judgments about overall risk.
Case #1 focuses on an adult male currently being held at a correctional facility. The evaluee was convicted of first-degree murder and was a juvenile at the time he committed the crime. Participants are tasked with completing a violence risk assessment for their upcoming re-sentencing hearing.
HCR-20 V3
The HCR-20 (Version 2; Webster, Douglas, Eaves, & Hart, 1997) has become the world’s most widely used and best-validated violence risk assessment and management instrument. It has been translated into 20 languages and adopted or evaluated in more than 35 countries. It helps professionals in diverse settings decide who poses a higher versus lower risk for violence, either within institutions or the community, and devise and monitor violence risk management plans.
