This article offers an overview of the development of risk assessment and its purpose and goals, a summary of research on risk assessment to date, and suggestions regarding future research. This overview indicates that the use of risk assessment is a widespread phenomenon, with differing goals and purposes. Research on risk assessment confirms the lack of conceptual clarity and the difficulty of incorporating it into a child protective services system that emphasizes findings of abuse and/or neglect as the key to continuing involvement in the system.
本文概述了风险评估的发展及其目的和目标，总结了迄今为止关于风险评估的研究，并就未来研究提出了建议。这一概述表明，风险评估的使用是一种普遍现象，其目标和目的各不相同。对风险评估的研究证实了概念上缺乏清晰度，以及将其纳入一个强调虐待和/或忽视的调查结果是继续参与该系统的关键的儿童保护服务系统存在困难。
