Evaluation for Risk of Violence in Adults (Best Practice in Forensic Mental Health Assessment) (Best Practices for Forensic Mental Health Assessments)

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.
