One problem with these measures is that it is unclear whether these thoughts had been shaped by actual experiences following release into the community, for example being assaulted or threatened with assault, and as a result the offender was considering violent retaliation, or whether they were part of a desire for retaliation because of delusional beliefs of persecution. Ellis, D. (1987). For the accommodation domain, clinical management intended to lead to a reduction in violence would begin by addressing the effects on the released prisoner of evictions (AOR 2.71, 95% CI 1.43 to 5.12; p=0.002) followed by frequent address change (AOR 2.45, 95% CI 1.15 to 5.22; p=0.020), homelessness (AOR 1.87, 95% CI 1.02 to 3.43; p=0.045) and finally problems in the local area (AOR 1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.93; p=0.046). severe, "terroristic" violence are more typical of clinical samples. This may have been a pharmacological effect of their drug misuse and could have explained ruminations of violence towards others. Further investigation is therefore needed into the relationship between static and dynamic risk for future intervention, pinpointing criminogenic needs, and to identify causal dynamic risk factors.421. (1990). & Katon, W. J. who might come into contact with individuals or couples involved in violent These include exposure to abuse, alcoholism, All other pro-criminal attitudes, as well as a high score on the criminal attitudes scale, were related to only violent and acquisitive offences. A total of 34 factors were related to violence in the medium-risk group: becoming homeless (AOR 3.71, 95% CI 1.48 to 9.30; p=0.005), having a frequent address change (AOR 3.40, 95% CI 1.06 to 10.94; p=0.040), living in an unsafe area (AOR 3.36, 95% CI 1.57 to 7.16; p=0.002), having a high level of coping difficulties (AOR 2.55, 95% CI 1.25 to 5.20; p=0.010), having a high stress level (AOR 2.03, 95% CI 1.03 to 3.99; p=0.041), having disagreements at work (AOR 3.13, 95% CI 1.14 to 8.65; p=0.027), suffering from anxiety (AOR 2.20, 95% CI 1.12 to 4.32; p=0.023), engaging in other types of self-harm (AOR 4.93, 95% CI 1.10 to 22.16; p=0.037), having a high level of anger (AOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.07 to 4.43; p=0.032), scoring 2 for psychosis (AOR 7.76, 95% CI 2.71 to 22.25; p<0.001), experiencing paranoid delusions (AOR 4.30, 95% CI 2.14 to 8.63; p<0.001), having strange experiences (AOR 2.38, 95% CI 1.22 to 4.66; p=0.011), hallucinations (AOR 2.67, 95% CI 1.11 to 6.44; p=0.029), engaging in hazardous drinking (AOR 2.33, 95% CI 1.23 to 4.41; p=0.010), any drug use (AOR 5.28, 95% CI 2.08 to 13.41; p<0.001), cannabis use (AOR 2.69, 95% CI 1.30 to 5.54; p=0.008), cocaine powder use (AOR 3.94, 95% CI 1.91 to 8.17; p<0.001), ecstasy use (AOR 3.44, 95% CI 1.62 to 7.34; p=0.001), cannabis dependence (AOR 3.49, 95% CI 1.51 to 8.07; p=0.003) and being assaulted (AOR 6.12, 95% CI 2.32 to 16,17; p<0.001). also a need to assess whether the welfare of victims has improved or declined Other risk markers that should be assessed include excessive alcohol/illicit Despite these limitations, and the over-inclusiveness of our preliminary version of the DRIV, many of these items could be easily measured by clinicians involved in the supervision of offenders following their release into the community.

Objective: To investigate associations of risk (exposure to domestic and community violence; prejudice) and promotive factors (family, college, and community connectedness) with . Further analysis may also prove that certain risk factors in this domain ultimately prove redundant. Being physically assaulted also appeared to be an important dynamic risk factor associated with violence for all three levels of static risk, together with thoughts of violence twice a month or more and thinking of harming different victims. An additional limitation at this preliminary stage is that, although identifying candidate variables with a high likelihood of association with violence, the instrument does not tell the probation officer or clinician how to intervene in the sense of specifying what intervention to make. This questions whether or not threshold effects are possible, a situation in which dynamic variables are not to increase risk beyond a level, already explained by a high level of static risk. Making assumptions about parties motivations and behaviours, or attempting to categorise violence according to severity or parties general circumstances may result in a misunderstanding of the dynamics of violence in a particular case and inappropriate responses to the needs of the victim and perpetrator.

The OR for each dynamic factor was adjusted for length of time from release to phase 2 interview, length of time out of prison following release from prison, location of interview (prison or community), sex and robbery, drugs and acquisitive offences. weapons.

Murtland, & Oakley, 1992). Women's Health Issues, 5(4), These represent important findings that require further investigation because it would at first seem more probable that these risk factors would have a greater impact on released prisoners in the high-risk group, measured using static factors. gender-sensitive comparison. From the psychosis domain, having at least two symptoms on the PSQ was related to violence (AOR 3.18, 95% CI 1.60 to 6.33; p=0.001) and acquisitive crime (AOR 2.22, 95% CI 1.01 to 4.86; p=0.047), paranoid delusions were related to violence (AOR 3.67, 95% CI 2.38 to 5.66; p<0.001) and drug offences (AOR 1.92, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.49; p=0.034) and having strange experiences were related to violence (AOR 2.60, 95% CI 1.68 to 4.02; p<0.001). by Sage Publications http://www.sagepub.com.

Several factors within the thoughts of violence domain were identified: thoughts related to different victims (AOR 6.45, 95% CI 3.29 to 12.64; p<0.001) followed by the likelihood of meeting a previous victim (AOR 5.21, 95% CI 2.37 to 11.47; p<0.001), thinking about different ways of hurting others (AOR 3.99, 95% CI 2.16 to 7.39; p<0.001), general thoughts of violence (AOR 3.84, 95% CI 2.32 to 6.38; p<0.001), thinking of violence at least twice a month (AOR 3.64, 95% CI 2.15 to 6.16; p<0.001), thoughts of harming others more than once a week (AOR 3.23, 95% CI 1.67 to 6.26; p<0.001) and thoughts of contacting a previous victim (AOR 4.68, 95% CI 2.36 to 9.30; p<0.001) were all associated with violent offending.

However, this does not include validated mental health measures.
