Evaluation for Risk of Violence in Juveniles (Best Practices in Forensic Mental Health Assessments)

Good summary of essential principles and most of the assessment instruments on might use. Violence risk prediction has limitations, sure, but it's likely here to stay so it's best that people understand what those limitations are and what best practices look like. The interested reader and/or practitioner should, of course, also keep up on the research publications, but this book is an excellent starting point and resource.

When the risk tools reviewed here miss 1 out 4 why would you read this book.
