Implementation of Risk Assessment Tools

Our study aims to look at the implementation of risk assessment tools (for violence and offending) through the use of an online survey. The survey asks forensic professionals about their perceptions, opinions, and experiences with risk assessment tools at workplaces that have a requirement that staff use a specific risk assessment tool.
