About the Book
This comprehensive handbook of original chapters serves as a resource for clinicians and researchers alike. In addition to introductory and summary chapters devoted to general issues in violence risk assessment, each chapter is devoted to a comprehensive discussion of a particular risk assessment measure.
Forensic psychology practitioners, mental health professionals who deal with the criminal justice system, and legal professionals working with violent offenders will find the Handbook of Violence Risk Assessment to be the primary reference for the field.
Reviews
'I would purchase this as a "desk reference" for those referrals involving Risk Assessment... The topic is a very complex and important one and I believe Dr. Otto is correct in his claim that prior texts are usually organized around a single instrument or approach, rather than an overview of several assessment methods.' - Robert Archer, Senior Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University
'Yes, this is an important topic that is not covered comprehensively elsewhere. I would buy the book both for myself and for my school’s library.' - Rebecca Jackson, Director of Forensic Psychology Program, Pacific Graduate School of Psychology
