Sex Offender Evaluation Services Sexual offender assessments are completed by trained and experienced mental health professionals. Almost always, sexual offender assessments are completed at the request of the Court or corrections. Assessments may occur during the presentence phase of a criminal proceeding, after sentencing has already occurred, or after an offender has been released from prison.  On the rare occasion, an assessment is conducted at the request of an individual. Sexual offender assessments are aimed at four major questions:   1)      What is the likelihood the individual will sexually reoffend? 2)      What are the most salient factors that contributed to the sexual offending? 3)      Is there evidence of deviant sexual interest? 4)      What, if any, sexual offender specific treatment is indicated? 5)      Are there mental health or chemical dependency problems that need to be addressed?  These questions are answered with clinical interviews of the offender; review of Court and corrections documentation about the assault; collateral interviews with family members, corrections staff, or others; review of past mental health, chemical dependency, or sexual offender treatment records; recidivism risk assessment instruments; and psychological testing.
