Crime Risk
This risk assessment is designed to give guidance and insight to educators, adults and concerned students regarding individuals in school who may have tendencies to assault others (get into fights or strike others). Individuals already involved with non-sexual assaults in the criminal justice system or referred for counseling in non-weapon assaults had many similar characteristics. This test uses these combinations of significant risk factors and repetitive behaviors to produce intervention strategies wherever there are matching behaviors in the assessment. This test does not predict behavior (assault) but when a combination of behaviors and characteristics match the behaviors and characteristics of individuals who have already been incarcerated for assault or referred for counseling for assault -- the test response will make recommendations to lower specific risk factors. There may also be links showing research links to aid you further.
