When people are victimised by violent crime, the general public
assumes that the victim could have been spared if the perpetrator
had been identified as potentially dangerous by mental health
agents. Yet prediction of dangerousness is an inexact science and
depends upon many complex factors. This book provides a thorough
and clear description of research findings in order to help
clinicians make sound decisions concerning their clients'
dangerousness. The book covers a broad spectrum of violent
behaviour as well as crucial issues such as biological factors,
domestic violence, and the influence of alcohol in violent
behaviour. The book is divided into the following sections: Basic
Issues in Violence Research, Mental Health Issues and
Dangerousness, Family Issues and Dangerousness, Individual
Characteristics and Dangerousness. It will serve as an important
reference book that not only covers scientific literature but
provides views on future directions for research and practice in
this valuable field.
