Abstract

[Over the last decades, risk assessment has gained a firm foothold in the criminal justice system of Western countries. This increased importance of risk assessment aligns with developments in research on mainly the predictive validity of risk assessment instruments. Time has however come to shift the focus from arguments about the predictive value towards other factors that may improve the quality of risk assessment in clinical practice. This chapter focuses on solutions that enhance the field reliability of these instruments, strengthen the link between risk assessment and management, and ensure a thorough practical implementation of these tools; these factors play an important role in making risk assessment better. Key issues are analysed with respect to the current and future challenges they pose to risk assessment.]
