The Handbook of Violence Risk Assessment, Second Edition, builds on
the first edition's comprehensive discussion of violence risk
assessment instruments with an update of research on established
tools and the addition of new chapters devoted to recently
developed risk assessment tools. Featuring chapters written by the
instrument developers themselves, this handbook reviews the most
frequently used violence risk assessment instruments-both actuarial
and structured professional judgment-that professionals use to
inform and structure their judgments about violence risk. Also
included are broader chapters that address matters such as the
consideration of psychopathy and how the law shapes violence risk
assessment. Already the primary reference for practitioners,
researchers, and legal professionals in this area, this second
edition's easy-to-access, comprehensive, and current information
will make it an indispensable reference for those in the field.
