This compact reference makes the case for a middle ground between clinical and actuarial methods in predicting future violence, domestic violence, and sexual offending. It critiques widely used measures such as the PCL-R, VRAG, SORAG, and Static-99 in terms of clarity of scoring, need for clinical interpretation, and potential weight in assessing individuals. Appropriate standards of practice are illustrated--and questioned--based on significant legal cases, among them Tarasoff v.Regents of the State of California and Lipari v. Sears, that have long defined the field. This expert coverage helps make sense of the pertinent issues and controversies surrounding risk assessment as it provides readers with invaluable information in these and other key areas: The history of violence prediction. Commonly used assessment instruments with their strengths and limitations. Psychological risk factors, both actual and questionable. Clinical lessons learned from instructive court cases, from Tarasoff forward. Implications for treatment providers. How more specialized risk assessment measures may be developed. Risk Assessment offers its readers--professionals working with sex offenders as well as those working with the Violence Risk Appraisal Guide and Sex Offender Appraisal Guide--new possibilities for rethinking the assessment strategies of their trade toward predicting and preventing violent criminal incidents.

This book retrospectively analyzes the notorious 1924 case of Leopold and Loeb, in which two college students murder a young boy just to prove they could do it. In the almost hundred years since that trial, the field of neuroscience along with neuropsychology have expanded tremendously, and there are now much more sophisticated tools that could be used to evaluate the perpetrators of this crime. Although deemed mentally ill at the time, there was not much scientific evidence that could be brought to bear on the defendants’ and their behavior. Now a legal psychologist and a neuropsychologist team up to tackle the case from a modern viewpoint. Using contemporary knowledge of the brain and behavior they map out the way the case might be handled today. Not just of historical interest, this volume serves as a case study for students and professionals alike, and a review of procedures used in such difficult cases.

"The purpose of this book is to help psychologists understand the legal bases of liability and the reality of malpractice, and to help them take reasonable steps to limit the risk of malpractice claims. We first deal with the theory and general legal principles of malpractice and then translate those principles into practical ways of avoiding the risk and the unnecessary concerns about professional liability. In the first two chapters, we provide an overview of the law of professional liability, in particular negligence. The next several chapters deal with professional liability and informed consent, confidentiality, diagnosis and treatment, and violence. In a separate chapter, we consider a variety of other areas of practice that give rise to liability. In the last two chapters, we review the trial process and risk management strategies. Because avoiding claims and liability is a focus of this book, most chapters include practical suggestions to assist psychologists in that goal. Malpractice claims are a risk of professional practice. This is a risk, however, that psychologists can manage and minimize"--Introduction.
