Event Host: Criminal Justice Research Center
Short Description: In this seminar, Yoder will explore many of the family environments that contribute to offending. Yoder will also dissect some of the research on effects of victimization and attachment.
There is strong evidence underlying the effects of trauma and victimization in initiating sexual abuse. Evidence also identifies family ecology as a factor that largely influences the development and maintenance of sexually harmful behaviors. In this seminar, Jamie Yoder, assistant professor, Social Work, will explore many of the family environments that contribute to offending.
Yoder will also dissect some of the research on effects of victimization and attachment. As we learn more about risk and protection within youths’ ecology, the field is adapting service delivery responses accordingly. Yoder will explore how risk and protective factors translate into practice, and discuss some of the evidence behind common services delivered in community and residential settings.
