Hiding in plain sight.That's the goal of sex offenders and child abusers as they seek to commit their crimes without fear of detection. Offenders do so by exploiting society's lack of understanding about how these crimes occur and our failure to acknowledge the reality that sex crimes and child abuse occur in every one of our communities. Twardesky Consulting believes that with better knowledge and education, investigators and others can identify the behavioral characteristics of the offenders to hold them accountable with the ultimate goal of protecting the innocent.
