Violence Risk Assessment Guide (VRAG)

The Violence Risk Assessment Guide (VRAG) is a tool used by psychologists and professionals to estimate an individual's likelihood of committing violent offenses in the future. It analyzes various factors such as criminal history, mental health, and personal background to produce a risk score. This score helps in making informed decisions about supervision, treatment, and safety measures, aiming to prevent future violence while balancing rights and rehabilitation. The VRAG is evidence-based and used mainly in forensic and criminal justice settings to assist in risk management.
