description In the 1990s there has been renewed interest in risk assessment with offenders. It is important to distinguish between terms such as dangerousness, prediction and risk assessment. It is particularly difficult to estimate the probability of occurrence for behaviours with low base rates, such as homicide and suicide. A generic framework for risk assessment is outlined. Risk factors associated with suicide amongst offenders are examined. Homicide is used as an exemplar for the risk assessment framework. The need for theory led risk assessments to inform risk management and review strategies are emphasized.
