Interest in violence risk assessment has grown in recent years, as risk assessment is relevant to a variety of decisions in law, mental health practice, and occupational settings. Although advances have been made in risk assessment in a variety of populations, including juveniles, mentally disordered offenders, sexual offenders, the domestically violent, and those involved in workplace violence, the present article focuses on the population of individuals with mental disorders but without criminal involvement.
