Traditional Masculinity, Social Media, and the Future of Violent Extremism
Traditional Masculinity, Social Media, and the Future of Violent Extremism
Traditional masculinity is becoming a major force in the future of violent extremism. While race remains central, masculinity—centered on control, dominance, and discipline—is just as influential. Gender and race work side by side to reinforce rigid hierarchies and offer a sense of order, identity, and purpose. Understanding how traditional masculinity functions in extremist spaces is key to seeing where violent extremism is heading—and why it remains so effective in pulling people in.
Violence Risk Scale- Sex Offender Version (VRS-SO)
Violence Risk Scale- Sex Offender Version (VRS-SO)
The VRS-SO consists of a static risk measure, and a dynamic measure. The dynamic measure can also be used with the Static-99R. The advantages of the VRS-SO include its ability to measure changes in sexual reoffense recidivism as a function of treatment change and the static, dynamic, and change scores being mathematically integrated to provide a more precise estimate of risk. The current norms (N = 913) and Excel-based calculator demonstrate good relative predictive validity, and each of the three scores make a unique contribution in the prediction of risk (i.e., incremental; validity; Olver et al., 2018). This one-day workshop will provide an overview of the development, relevant research, administration, scoring, and interpretation of the VRS- SO. Participants will have an opportunity to code the VRS-SO on one sample case to assess risk, identify treatment targets linked to sexual violence, and evaluate treatment changes. This workshop will be suitable to all who provide clinical/risk assessment, treatment, and risk management services to adults who were charged or convicted of sexual offenses, and to all who are interested in assessing change in treatment.
