Currently, both empirical and practical literature has focused, to an almost exclusive extent, on the assessment of human behavior and propensity for violence. However, most cases of high concern for potential physical violence arise from individuals who have yet to act in ways the criminal justice system can address. This book broaches the topic, exploring tactics and providing practical, concrete suggestions.
- Focuses on how to influence specific outcomes relating to high risk behaviors
- Analyzes the biological, psychological, sociological, contextual and environmental information learned from risk assessment
- Concentrates on a specific area of analysis and/or techniques
Practitioners of threat and violence risk assessment, mental health practitioners, law enforcement officers, security professionals, human resource professionals, and attorneys
