THE TEAM APPROACH
• It is the “elephant in the room” that isn’t talked about but it is present.
• Knowledge does not change emotions.
• Some of the reasons why fear and anger are in the room.
THE EMOTIONS IN THE ROOM
![Page 27: END THE SILENCE · The members of the sex offender management system want to help you; to give you ... -Police Detective who monitors sex offenders. Supervises: • Registration •](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042410/5f282485fda5c75289792fb0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
THE TEAM APPROACH
Things to not say:• “I hate sex offenders, too.” • “If it were up to me ______.”• “I know how you feel.”• “Yes, even sex offenders have rights.”
Things to say:• “If you see something suspicious, call.”• “This does not have to be the end of the conversation. Here is my card.”• “I hear your frustration.”
SOME SIMPLE IDEAS:
![Page 28: END THE SILENCE · The members of the sex offender management system want to help you; to give you ... -Police Detective who monitors sex offenders. Supervises: • Registration •](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042410/5f282485fda5c75289792fb0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
THE TEAM APPROACH
• We know that a housed and stable sex offender or general offender is less likely to commit another crime.
• Stability = Safe Communities
– There is no one solution to this social problem
– Laws and incarceration will not stop this social issue. We also need to find ways to prevent and that is where the community has a role, as well as the members of the MDT
