Abstract
⺠Meta-analysis of violence risk assessments from 68 studies based on 25,980 participants. ⺠The predictive validity of tools measured by four outcome measures varies widely. ⺠Risk measures are more valid in older samples and when predicting violent offending. ⺠Tools designed for specific populations perform better. ⺠Actuarial tools and structured clinical judgment perform comparably.
