Assessing Violence Risk in Juveniles
About The Workshop
Clinicians working with children and adolescents are faced almost daily with questions of potential violence risk. Fortunately, there is a strong research base to draw upon. Unfortunately, most of it is not presented in a very “user friendly” way for front line practitioners. In this workshop, we will cast light on recent trends in violent behavior among youth – both in and out of school; discuss fundamental differences between risk assessments for adults and for adolescents; describe distinctions between different types of violence and different patterns of violent offending. We will distill, in a practical way, twenty years of research on violence risk factors in youth, and describe a risk assessment model that gives you a framework within which to apply them. Finally, we will briefly examine the latest structured assessment instruments for assessing violence risk in juveniles, and how they have the potential to improve risk assessment practice.
