Violence Risk Assessment Tools

Violence risk assessment tools are structured methods used by professionals to evaluate the likelihood that an individual may commit violent acts in the future. They analyze various factors such as past behavior, mental health, and social environment to identify potential risks. These tools help clinicians, legal professionals, and researchers make informed decisions about safety, treatment, and management. While not perfect, they provide a systematic way to assess potential danger, guiding interventions to prevent violence and protect individuals and society effectively.
