Over the past 15 years, forensic mental health has become more concerned with the concepts of violence prevention, management, and treatment. The development of specialist tools to aid in the assessment of a range of risks reflects this concern. This article explores contemporary thinking on violence risk assessment and how this knowledge can be applied to the relatively newer field of stalking risk assessment. The role of risk state and risk status are discussed, in addition to the way that standard structured professional judgment procedures need to be adapted to reflect the variety of risks present in stalking situations. The authors go on to describe the development and format of the Stalking Risk Profile, a set of structured professional judgment guidelines for assessing risk in stalkers. Suggestions are made for future research to enhance knowledge and improve practice in the field of stalking risk assessment.
在过去的 15 年中，法医心理健康越来越关注预防、管理和治疗暴力的概念。开发专门工具来帮助评估一系列风险反映了这种关注。本文探讨了当代关于暴力风险评估的思维方式，以及如何将这些知识应用于相对较新的跟踪风险评估领域。讨论了风险状态和风险状况的作用，以及标准的结构化专业判断程序如何需要进行调整，以反映跟踪情况下存在的各种风险。作者接着描述了跟踪风险概况的开发和格式，这是一套用于评估跟踪者风险的结构化专业判断指南。为进一步研究提出了建议，以增进对跟踪风险评估领域的认识并改善实践。
