Arson screening tools

Arson screening tools are assessments used by professionals, such as psychologists or investigators, to evaluate whether someone is likely to commit arson, the intentional setting of fires. These tools analyze various factors, including a person's background, mental health, past behaviors, and motivations. They help determine the risk level of an individual based on patterns or characteristics commonly associated with arsonists. By using these tools, authorities can identify potential threats, guide interventions, and ultimately help prevent dangerous fires and associated harm to people and property.
