Risk Rules is a concise guide to the assessment and prevention of violence risk using Structured Professional Judgment (SPJ). The last two decades have seen a rapid expansion of research in this area, and today's practitioners may need to sift through diverse findings to find the best approach for their situation. Making sense of this complexity, Risk Rules draws on up-to-date knowledge to offer a practical and interdisciplinary introduction to this dynamic subject for professionals and students.
The text builds on the overall approach of the seminal manual HCR-20 Violence Risk Management: Companion Guide (Douglas, Webster, Hart, Eaves & Ogloff, 2001), but goes much further by broadening the focus from one specific scheme to the various SPJ approaches that have been developed and tested over the two subsequent decades. Covering assessment processes and intervention strategies, and featuring contributions from a host of experts drawn from psychology, psychiatry, social work, nursing, criminology and law, this accessible book presents knowledge and guidance that has stood the test of time and has been further refined through contemporary endeavour.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Assessing risk of future violence is an issue of perennial public concern. The field of violence risk management was born in a 1977 article by psychologist Peter Duncan Scott, who combined science with experience to lay the foundation for accurate clinical judgement as to an individual's likelihood of future violence. Scott pointed to certain variables that were likely to predict future violence and others that, contrary to popular belief, were not. More than forty years on the field has blossomed, with a host of books, papers, instruments and specialist tools designed to aid clinicians in assessing children, sex offenders, prisoners, terrorists and more. Yet while academics may applaud this rapid accumulation of scholarship, real-world uptake of new ideas and information has often been less than ideal. Risk Rules - A Practical Guide to Structured Professional Judgement and Violence Prevention cuts through this complexity, offering a short, readable `primer' that will give students, trainees and those working in the field a clear, contemporary overview of key principles and practices. In Risk Rules - A Practical Guide to Structured Professional Judgement and Violence Prevention, experts from a range of fields provide a concise, accessible introduction to the principles of violence risk assessment and management, and explore the challenges of accurate clinical prediction across a range of populations and contexts.
