Practitioners in the social, behavioral, and health fields often
work with perpetrators and survivors of interpersonal violence.
Many are asked to make predictions about the likelihood of future
violence. Assessing Dangerousness reviews the intricacies of
predicting intimate partner violence and homicide as well as child
abuse and homicide to better prepare readers to make such
assessments. Extensively revised, this classic volume highlights
the latest research in clear and accessible language. Each
contributor, a noted expert in their field, has faced the difficult
task of assessing the risk of intimate partner violence and child
abuse in courtrooms, clinics, shelters, hospitals, schools, and
more. Their experience in research and practice makes this the
go-to resource for anyone required to make predictions about
violent behavior in family settings. Assessing Dangerousness, Third
Edition: Presents clinical and court examples requiring the
assessment of risk and danger that appeals to practitioners in
social work, psychology, nursing, counseling, criminology, and
public health. Introduces an evidence based approach that
practitioners can use to integrate risk assessment in a variety of
settings. Covers the latest risk assessment instruments for use in
the field including the Danger Assessment, the DVSI-R, and the
ODARA. Highlights the newest and most promising applications of
risk assessment such as the Maryland Network Against Domestic
Violence Lethality Assessment Program. Synthesizes related legal
and ethical issues to help practitioners implement risk assessment
in a responsible way. Identifies prediction factors and risk
markers for use in interventions. Exposes the overlap between child
and intimate partner homicide, instrumental in identifying families
with multiple risks. Presents the latest research on the risk of
re-assault in intimate partner violence and risk over the life
course. Reviews the latest version of Dr. Campbell's Danger
Assessment, the most widely used homicide risk assessment
instrument for intimate partner violence survivors. Introduces two
new authors in the chapters on child abuse lethality assessments
and risk of IPV exposing readers to the rising stars in the field.
