"This is an outstanding video program that provides the most up-to-date information and research on sex offender risk assessment by the leading experts in the field... This videotape series is highly recommended for any clinician who is involved in attempting to evaluate risk of re-offense in a sex offender population. It is also recommended for members of the legal system: prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, as a very comprehensive and thorough review of research to date on actuarial risk assessment measures... A 'must' for any professional who is involved in the assessment of the sex offender." | Read the complete review.

"Sinclair and his colleagues have compacted, but never reduced, vast information into a program accessible to those with beginning and advanced skills alike. It is comprehensive, versatile, and contains valuable information for treatment planning and decisions beyond formalized risk assessment. It also provides a first-class window into the facinating thought behind the research into re-offense risk prediction." | Read the complete review.

"I have reviewed the videotapes produced by Lloyd Sinclair on Risk Assessment and found them to be extremely helpful in both our clinical work and in training students, new staff, and visitors to our clinic. Each of the presenters on the videotapes are internationally renowned for their work in developing risk assessment procedures and they strike an excellent balance between good research and the practical needs of clinicians. Despite my own experience in the field, and the fact that I have been making risk statements based on the instruments described in this series, I still learned much of value from these tapes. I strongly recommend them to anyone dealing with sexual offenders."
