Violence Risk Assessments

 
 

Violence risk assessments evaluate the likelihood that an individual may engage in future aggressive or violent behavior under certain circumstances. These evaluations are often requested when courts, attorneys, or agencies need a clearer understanding of potential behavioral risk.

Violence risk assessments may be relevant in cases involving:

  • assault or violent incidents

  • threats toward others

  • domestic violence concerns

  • workplace or school safety issues

  • bond or probation decisions

These evaluations may incorporate structured assessment tools when appropriate and focus on identifying risk factors, protective factors, and practical recommendations that may help reduce the likelihood of future incidents.
