Question 3

Compare and contrast actuarial measures and clinical measures of risk assessment.

Accepted Answer

•Both actuarial and clinical measures are attempts to assess the likelihood of future violence or future dangerousness.
•Both should be performed by qualified mental health practitioners (e.g.,psychologists,psychiatrists,clinical social workers).
•Actuarial measures apply specified "risk factors" to an individual's case.Examples are the person's age,past violent incidents,age of first offense,substance misuse,prior convictions.
•Clinical measures employ a clinician's judgment,based on his or her past experiences with dangerous or violent offenders.These measures may or may not include the same risk factors as those used in actuarial methods.
•Actuarial measures are research based; clinical measures typically are not.
•Actuarial assessments have outperformed clinical assessments in most research studies.
•Actuarial assessments are criticized as being too structured,leaving no room for clinical judgment; clinical assessments are criticized as being based on clinical hunches.
•Many clinicians today advocate a third form of assessment,structured professional judgment,which offers guidance to clinicians on which factors to consider but also enables them to apply additional knowledge based on their clinical experience.
