Risk Technology in Sentencing: Testing the Promises and Perils (Commentary on Hannah-Moffat, 2011) (2013, background): “Having addressed Hannah-Moffat’s (2011) main concerns, I add an overlapping concern of my own.”
The intricate link between violence and mental disorder: results from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. (2009, background): “they can change and therefore be the focus of intervention.(51) The association of current work status with later violence implies that practical and measurable interventions such as vocational training, supported employment, and other means of assisting people to find stable jobs may help reduce vi”
Actuarial Assessment of Risk for Reoffense Among Adult Sex Offenders (2007, background): “Indeed, such a focus represents a promising avenue for improving conceptual clarity in risk assessment work (Douglas & Skeem, 2005; Hanson, 1998), broadening the practical implications and utility of risk assessments (Heilbrun, 1997; Langton, in press), and identifying which of the current…”
Dynamic risk and protective factors (2016, background): “Finally, Douglas and Skeem (2005) have contributed to discussion about the temporal relationship between dynamic risk factors and outcomes by differentiating between risk status and risk state; the former referring to a group risk estimate and the latter referring to fluctuating change in offender…”
Protective Factors in Forensic Mental Health: A New Frontier (2011, neutral): “There are also a number of important drawbacks to actuarial risk assessment tools, most notably the issue of changeability in risk status (Douglas & Skeem, 2005 ; Dvoskin & Heilbrun, 2001 ).”
The LSI-R and the Compas (2008, background): “In a recent comprehensive review of the relevant literature, Douglas and Skeem (2005) identified the following seven robust dynamic risk factors: impulsiveness, negative affect, psychosis, antisocial attitudes, current substance use, interpersonal relationship problems, and poor treatment…”
Protective Factors for Violence Risk in Forensic Psychiatric Patients: A Retrospective Validation Study of the SAPROF (2011, positive): “The evolution of structured risk assessment instruments over the past few decades has provided increasingly helpful tools to not only predict future violent behavior but to guide clinical intervention and decision making (Douglas & Skeem, 2005; Webster, Müller-Isberner, & Fransson, 2002).”
Risk factors for elder abuse and neglect: A review of the literature (2020, background): “Although both static and dynamic risk factors predict future violence, dynamic risk factors also play a critical role in violence risk management as they can serve as effective targets for intervention (Andrews, 2012; Douglas & Skeem, 2005; Hart, 2008).”
The Predictive Validity of Clinical Ratings of the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START) (2010, background): “The time periods intended to be captured by risk assessment instruments and how often dynamic risk factors should be measured to understand their variability remains a challenge for researchers ( Douglas & Skeem, 2005 ).”
Risk factors and protective factors: a two-sided dynamic approach to violence risk assessment (2013, background): “…risk prevention and management should be informed mostly by the assessment of clinically relevant, changeable factors (Dvoskin & Heilbrun, 2001) and that dynamic factors are the most valuable opportunities for targeting treatment interventions aiming to change violence risk (Douglas & Skeem, 2005).”
Examining the process of offender change: the transition to crime desistance (2009, background): “Just as violent crime is multiply determined (Douglas & Skeem, 2005), so transition into desistance is likely the result of various life changes.”
The Prediction of Violence in Adult Offenders (2009, background): “Third-generation measures also included dynamic risk factors, which are risk factors that are variable in nature and can change with time or with the influence of social, psychological, biological, or contextual factors (e.g., intervention; Douglas & Skeem, 2005).”
Sexually Violent Predators in the Courtroom: Science on Trial (2006, neutral): “It would be erroneous, however, to assume that risk based on past conduct accurately reflects current risk (Douglas & Skeem, 2005).”
