Violence Risk Assessment
In-person training at ILPPP on November 16, 2022
10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
This one-day, in-person program introduces violence risk assessment principles and procedures that are relevant to a variety of clinical, forensic, and correctional contexts. Content will include scholarly background in risk assessment as well as clinical applications and procedures, including an overview of relevant risk instruments. In particular, participants will learn the foundations of administration and scoring of the HCR-20-V3 (Historical, Clinical, Risk-20-Version 3), the most widely-used structural professional judgment instrument to assess violence risk.
This introductory program is well-suited for clinicians without prior experience or training in violence risk assessment. Please click here (PDF) to download a detailed agenda.
