Description
This comprehensive handbook of original chapters consolidates what is known about contemporary risk assessment instruments and serves as a resource for legal, correctional, and mental health professionals. Two introductory chapters cover general issues in violence risk evaluation, while the remainder of the book offers a comprehensive discussion of specific risk assessment measures. Each chapter is prepared by the author(s) of the assessment tool under discussion and helps readers to determine whether and how to use the instruments covered in the book.
