PREA Pt 2: Dynamics of Sexual Abuse in Corrections
Hours: 2.25
This course covers content required by the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) National Standards for employee training. Specifically, this course will discuss content related to the dynamics and warning signs of sexual abuse and sexual harassment, common reactions of victims, communication strategies for working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex (LGBTI) and gender non-conforming populations, and how to avoid inappropriate relationships with people in custody. The PREA is a federal law established in 2003 to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and sexual harassment in correctional systems. The National Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape (PREA National Standards) are a compilation of best practices and nationally accepted correctional practices to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and sexual harassment in correctional settings. The goal of this course is to provide staff working in adult correctional facilities who have direct contact with people in custody with information to help them understand the dynamics of sexual abuse and sexual harassment in correctional facilities.
