Violence Risk - Assessment and Management
Advances Through Structured Professional Judgement and Sequential Redirections
This is an excellent account of risk assessment for mental health professionals. It should find a place on every practitioner’s book shelf and every undergraduate reading list. Webster and colleagues have produced an exceptionally useful book, situating leading contemporary models of violence risk assessment and management within decision making contexts. They provide substantial pragmatic guidance on how to make tough decisions about violence risk at various transition points within forensic and correctional settings, and how to implement and evaluate risk assessment models within systems. This book will be illuminating for all key stakeholders – administrators; policy-makers; practitioners; and researchers.
