Forensic interventions aim to mitigate risk, yet research on change measured through repeated risk assessment is scarce, particularly regarding protective factors. This study examined changes in risk and protective factors during intervention and the impact of change on violent recidivism. Trajectories of 175 male justice involved youth with a hist...
Preventing in-prison violence and maintaining a safe environment is an important goal within prison settings. Screening for violence risk may provide a valuable addition to reach this goal. Within the Dutch prison system, the Risk Screener Violence (RS-V) has become an important new element in overall risk management. Prior research shows that RS-V...
Introduction
Physical and verbal violence toward staff or other detained individuals is a reoccurring problem within correctional facilities. Screening for violence risk within the prison setting could provide a valuable first step in the prevention of institutional violence. The brief and compact Risk Screener Violence (RS-V) has shown to be an ef...
Within the prison system, it is often not feasible to administer comprehensive risk assessment for all incarcerated persons because of limited time and resources. To enhance prison safety and facilitate the structured evaluation of concerns about violence risk for all individuals, the Risk Screener Violence (RS-V) was developed. The goal of this st...
Protective factors are now commonly included in comprehensive risk assessment. This study concerns an initial validation of the new SAPROF-Extended Version (SAPROF-EV) pilot, containing modifications and additions to the original SAPROF. For 139 forensic psychiatric inpatients, assessment results with the SAPROF-EV pilot and HCR-20 V3 were compared...
Few studies have addressed the application of violence risk assessment for individuals transitioning from youth to adulthood. For 202 young adults released from Dutch juvenile justice institutions this study investigated the predictive validity and potential disparities in impact of juvenile risk assessment tools (i.e., SAVRY [Structured Assessment...
For mentally disordered individuals it is invaluable to carefully consider protective factors that predict desistance from criminal and especially aggressive behavior, both in risk assessment and treatment. Positive personal, social or environmental strengths increase prevention of inpatient violence, promote successful rehabilitation and safe comm...
The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF; de Vogel, de Ruiter, Bouman, & de Vries Robbé, 2009 , 2012 ) is a structured professional judgment (SPJ) checklist for the assessment of protective factors for violence risk. It is the only SPJ risk assessment tool that focuses solely on protective factors. The tool was deve...
This study examined a biopsychosocial approach on risk assessment in a clinical sample of youth offenders. In search of enhancing the validity of prediction of recidivism through risk factors alone, the added value of protective and neurobiological factors was measured. In 209 male youth offenders (age 15-24), risk and protective factors were asses...
This study examines the relationship between criminal history and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how they collectively predict (a) recidivism and (b) positive social functioning among multi-problem young adults. Criminal records and self-report data regarding ACEs and adult education/employment and quality of life (QoL) were collected for...
Most juvenile risk assessment tools heavily rely on a risk-focused approach. Less attention has been devoted to protective factors. This study examines the predictive validity of protective factors in addition to risk factors, and developmental differences in psychometric properties of juvenile risk assessment. For a national Dutch sample of 354 ju...
There is a growing recognition that a strengths-based approach to the assessment and management of violence risk brings added value to the rehabilitation of patients in forensic mental health settings. Such an approach seems of particular value for forensic psychiatric patients in long-term treatment, whose risk factors have proven difficult to cha...
In dit hoofdstuk worden de fundamenten van de risicotaxatie besproken en worden aanbevelingen gedaan voor de praktische uitvoer van gestructureerde risicotaxaties in de forensische zorg. In het eerste deel van dit hoofdstuk wordt ingegaan op de verschillende methoden van risicotaxatie, waarbij de nadruk ligt op de methode van het gestructureerd pro...
Most of the commonly used risk assessment tools are developed and validated in mainly male populations and there is limited evidence for the usefulness of these tools in female populations. In 2014, gender-sensitive risk assessment guidelines for adult female (forensic) psychiatric patients in addition to the HCR-20 / HCR-20 V3 have been developed,...
Assessing the level of violence risk is a vital task for mental health professionals working with offenders and (forensic) psychiatric patients. Many tools are available to aid the assessment process, each with a specific focus and purpose. Especially the structured professional judgement risk assessment tools are considered useful in guiding clini...
Les méthodes d’évaluation du risque et des besoins des personnes contrevenantes ont grandement évolué au cours des 40 dernières années. Elles sont passées d’une évaluation impressionniste basée sur l’expérience clinique à une procédure systématique basée sur la recherche scientifique. Ce n’est toutefois que très récemment que les professionnels ont...
Purpose: Inpatient violence can have a major impact in terms of traumatic experiences for victims and witnesses, an unsafe treatment climate, and high-financial costs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to gain more insight into patterns of violent behavior, so that adequate preventive measures can be taken. Design/methodology/approach: Data o...
Protective factors safeguard against undesirable outcomes such as violence, sexual violence and criminal behavior in general. While a growing body of theoretical and empirical literature has identified plausible protective factors and explored their underlying mechanisms and additional value to risk factors, little has been written concerning clini...
Within the broader field of clinical psychology, there has been a shift from deficit focused assessment toward the practice of including strengths and protective factors in clinical assessment (Tedeschi & Kilmer, 2005). It is generally agreed-upon that comprehensive psychological assessments need to include protective factors/strengths (Snyder, Rit...
In this chapter challenges and solutions in adapting risk assessment tools for use in new jurisdictions are discussed. Several concrete recommendations for adapting tools are provided on three domains: 1) translation process; 2) implementation process; and 3) cross-cultural research. To illustrate the challenges and solutions in the process of adap...
Dynamic risk and protective factors serve to assess the violence risk level of (forensic) psychiatric patients and offer guidance to clinical interventions. Risk assessment scores on Historical Clinical Risk Management–20 (HCR-20) risk factors and Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF) protective factors at different...
The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk – Youth Version (SAPROF-YV) is an SPJ assessment tool specically designed for the structured assessment of protective factors for violence risk in juveniles. The tool has been developed to be used in addition to (primarily) risk-focused juvenile risk assessment tools, such as the SAV...

Female Additional Manual: addition to HCR-20 Version 3 for violence risk assessment in justice-involved women
The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF) has recently been developed as a risk assessment tool to focus solely on protective factors for (sexual) violence risk. Research on protective factors for sexual offending is very limited and most risk assessment tools for adult sexual offenders do not incorporate protective...
This article considers factors that support or assist desistance from sexual offending in those who have previously offended. Current risk assessment tools for sexual offending focus almost exclusively on assessing factors that raise the risk for offending. The aim of this study was to review the available literature on protective factors supportin...
Empirical studies have rarely investigated the association between improvements on dynamic risk and protective factors for violence during forensic psychiatric treatment and reduced recidivism after discharge. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment progress in risk and protective factors on violent recidivism. For a sample of...
In this article, the applicability of the recently published HCR-20V3 for violence risk
assessment in forensic psychiatric practice is discussed. This revision of the HCR-20 is the
result of a multi-year development process based on worldwide empirical research, clinical
expertise and consultation. Recently, the HCR-20V3 was implemented in Dutch fo...
Background and aims of the thesis

to assess these factors in risk assessment: the Structured Assessment of Protective
Factors for violence risk (SAPROF; de Vogel, de Ruiter, Bouman, & de Vries Robbé, 2007;
2009). The aim of this thesis was to explore the pot...
The complementary use of risk- and protective factors has been one of the major advances in violence risk assessment in recent years. The present study investigates the value of this two-sided approach. The HCR-20 and the SAPROF were coded retrospectively for a sample of 188 patients with a history of violent or sexual offending, discharged from fo...

Bij een behandeling in een forensisch kader van plegers van seksueel geweld is zicht op risico van herhaling van het probleemgedrag een must. In het verlengde daarvan is onderzoek naar beschermende factoren een interessant en relatief nieuw gebied.
Retrospectief werd validatie-onderzoek gedaan naar de psychometrische kwaliteiten van de SAPROF, een...
This study examined the extent to which intercultural effectiveness dimensions (cultural empathy, open‐mindedness, social initiative, emotional stability, flexibility) and right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA) predicted the ethnic prejudice of 166 Australian respondents toward Indigenous Australians. Intercultural effectiveness was assessed on the Mult...
Violence perpetrated by women is a growing problem. Research has shown that the risk factors associated with women differ from those associated with men and that the risk assessments currently in use are not adequate for predicting violence in women.
To develop a clinically relevant, useful tool for an accurate, gender-sensitive assessment of risk...
The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF) was developed as an SPJ tool to assess protective factors for violence risk. The tool is intended to be used in addition to risk focused tools such as the HCR-20/HCR-20V3 or other SPJ (or actuarial) violence risk and/or sexual violence risk assessment tools. The SAPROF conta...
Violence risk assessment tools in forensic psychiatry have traditionally solely been focused on risk factors. Recently, positive psychology inspired a more strengths-based approach to treatment and sparked an innovation in the assessment of violence risk: the introduction of protective factors. The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for Vi...
In this article, the Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF), a structured professional guideline for protective factors, is introduced and the incremental value of this instrument for treatment planning and risk management in forensic settings is discussed. The most important goal of the standardized assessment of pr...
The Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF) has recently been developed as a strengths-based addition to the assessment of risk for future violent behavior (de Vogel, de Ruiter, Bouman, & de Vries Robbé, 2009). Following the Structured Professional Judgment (SPJ) model, the positive and predominantly dynamic factors i...
The SAPROF is an assessment tool developed for the structured assessment of protective factors for violence risk. Following the SPJ model, the SAPROF was designed as a positive addition to SPJ risk assessment tools, such as the HCR-20, creating a more balanced assessment of risk for future (sexual) violence. The SAPROF aims to contribute to an incr...
