adult treatment providers, from outpatient, residential, and forensic
settings. We have probation officers, polygraphers and attorneys
attending. At each meeting we first discuss legal and media information
from members, and update members on CCOSO board issues. Issues range from new
legislation to local politics. Following this we
have presentations to members and will be offering CEUs. Recent
topics have been: a review of the incest recidivism literature, residential
treatment of adolescent sex offenders, and an internet safety presentation
typically given to parents by a county probation officer.
