Predicting Violent Behavior: An Assessment of Clinical Techniques

By John Monahan

From the Foreword by Salem Shah: “

The prediction of dangerous and violent behavior is a topic that continues to be the subiect of much controversy and discussion in the criminal justice and mental health systems. Decision-makers in both systems are frequently called upon or even required to consider the likelihood that particular individuals will or will not engage in future acts of violence against other persons or against themselves. And, not infrequently, the judg- ments that are made can have serious consequences for the individuals concerned-and also for segments of the community that might be placed at risk.”
