Understanding/Identifying Sexual Predators Seminar

Capella University faculty member to present to the School Transportation News EXPO on July 25 in Reno

Dr. Duane Dobbert, a faculty member with the School of Public Service Leadership, will present on characteristics and behaviors of sexual predators

Dr. Duane Dobbert, author, criminologist and Capella University faculty member, will be bringing his four decades of experience as a forensic behavioral analyst to attendees of the School Transportation News (STN) EXPO on July 25 in Reno, Nevada.

Expanding on his past workshops at the STN conference, Dr. Dobbert will be presenting “Understanding and Identifying Sexual Predators,” a seminar that will thoroughly and explicitly examine the nature, characteristics and precursor behaviors of sexual predators, and will give attendees the tools to help identify predators, prevent possible attacks or abductions and bring them to justice.

“I initiate the training with a statistical and demographic analysis of the incidence of child sexual assault and the current legislation that is the foundation of the national sex offender registry, GPS surveillance of registered sex offenders and Child Abduction Response Teams (CART),” Dobbert said.

The four-hour course has received accreditation from the Nevada Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, the Nevada Board of Continuing Legal Education, the Nevada Board of Examiners for Social Workers, and the Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners for continuing education units.

This summer will also mark the release of Dr. Dobbert’s third book, Psychopathy, Perversion, and Lust Homicide. His past books include Halting the Sexual Predators Among Us: Preventing Attack, Rape, and Lust Homicide (2004) and Understanding Personality Disorders (2007).

Dr. Dobbert will also discuss the role of student transportation with a CART during an Amber Alert, something that he will give more detail on during his second workshop, “Law Enforcement & School Transportation Collaboration on Amber Alerts,” scheduled to be given during the regular EXPO conference on July 29. Attendees will be given specific recommendations on how school transportation departments can help law enforcement during an Amber Alert.

I have been a LE officer for over 24 years, I worked on the CART team as well as the ICAC task force…I am currently working on my PhD…I wish Dr. Dobbert’s were coming to the East Coast! Neveda is a bit far away! I would love to talk to him about writing my own book-as well as my dissertation idea on sexual predators..

Hi Christine, I’m interested in collaborating further with Dr. Dobbert as well! We have been talking about possibilities and I am sure that sometime and somewhere in the near future we’ll be able to offer just such an opportunity for you on your side of the country.

Thanks for the comment.

Christine Buchanan Says:

Hi Everyone! My name is Chris Buchanan and I am trying to receive my PhD. in Public Safety and Criminal Justice and would like to link with other learners that could tell me about their experiences and such. I am presently just attending school and I have a disability, but would like to work with youth that commit sexual abuse on other children. I am not sure exactly what I should be looking for as far as classes and if I am taking the right path to meet my goals.

I would appreciate any help that I can get in making my decision.

Thank you in advance and good luck to all of you.

Chris
