Description

This book synthesizes the important developments in violence risk assessment with adults, particularly over the last two decades. Because violence risk is such a wide-ranging field, this volume focuses specifically on violence risk assessment as a process - including the steps that are indicated, the role of specialized risk assessment tools, the scientific and applied debates surrounding this area, and the integration of risk assessment into the evaluation.
