Autor institucional: College of Policing Idioma: Inglês.País: Reino Unido.Publicação: [S. l.] : College of Policing , 2021Descrição física: 16 p. : il.; 30 cmAssunto: INTERVENÇÃO PSICOLÓGICA | ANÁLISE DE RISCO | REINCIDÊNCIA | CRIME VIOLENTO | VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA | STALKING CDU: 343.8 Localização e Cota : 343.8COL Resumo: In 2019 two structured professional judgement tools, one for assessing risk of domestic violence (Spousal Assault Risk Assessment (SARA) Version 3) and one for assessing the risk of stalking (Stalking Assessment and Management (SAM)) were piloted in three police forces. The intervention aimed to provide police officers and staff with tools to support them in assessing the risk and managing the behaviour of domestic violence and stalking offenders. These tools are an example of structured professional judgement that combine the strengths of professional judgement and actuarial prediction while mitigating against their respective limitations. The use of SARA and SAM was evaluated in three forces to test how offender managers would use these tools in practice. Training was provided prior to the tools being implemented to improve police understanding of risk management.
