...I discuss how mental illness and drug/alcohol abuse weigh into such risk. I utilize a combination of actuarial risk assessment instruments, psychodiagnostic tests, record review, and clinical judgment to form such opinions. I conduct a good number of evaluations for accused sex offenders, including MDSO (Mentally Disordered Sex Offender) and psychosexual evaluations. I incorporate all available collateral data, and I use instruments such as the Static-99-R and the Hare Psychopathy Checklist in order to bring the best in hard test data into the clinical opinions that I offer to the court. I will accept child abuse cases and I will accept child pornography cases. I will not accept Involuntary Civil Commitment for Sexually Violent Offenders cases (here in Florida they are called Jimmy Rice cases). I would explain my rationale for not doing so upon request.
