Week 3 - Discuss the different factors that are important

Week 3

In your initial posts to your peers, discuss the different factors that are important in violence risk assessments. Discuss static, dynamic, and protective factors, and think about how utilizing them may or may not improve the accuracy of the risk assessment. Also, explain the weaknesses of risk assessment and how the factors may play into the weakness.

In response to your peers, do you agree with their assessment of the accuracy? Why or why not? Do you agree with the weaknesses? Explain why you agree with the weaknesses, or why you do not. What would you add to their assessment? What are the legal implications?

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.
