This workshop will enhance and promote statewide clinical expertise in violence risk and threat assessment in Nebraska. Practitioners address risk assessment and management issues in their clinical activity. The literature regarding key concepts of risk assessment and threat assessment will be reviewed, including relevant dynamic and static risk and protective factors. Illuminated by case scenarios, the presenter will detail the roles (i.e., linkage and overlap) of risk assessment and threat assessment across different applied contexts. Relevant ethical concerns related to the implementation of threat and risk assessment approaches will be discussed.
