With the world's prison population continuing to grow and the
number of inpatient beds in psychiatric hospitals on the rise,
establishing valid and reliable methods of identifying individuals
who will commit violent acts is an important global health and
public safety issue. One approach to identifying future offenders
is through the use of risk assessment-unstructured and structured
methods of predicting the likelihood of antisocial behavior.
Although much has been written on the performance of risk
assessment in research settings, little is known about current
standards of practice and relevant public policy across the globe.
International Perspectives on Violence Risk Assessment includes
chapters by leading risk assessment scholars in more than 15
countries and explores the topic from a truly international
outlook. Using findings from the seminal International Risk Survey
(IRiS), the largest qualitative study in the history of the field,
current assessment, management, and monitoring practices on six
continents are explored. Authors identify and describe the most
commonly used risk assessment tools, examine risk communication
preferences, and provide recommendations for mental health
practitioners, criminal justice professionals, and legal
professionals. Finally, authors review the seminal research
studies, current practice guidelines, and relevant legal statutes
of their jurisdictions. This volume serves as an invaluable
resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
interested in this rapidly evolving field.
