  1. Assessing Risk The clock is ticking…

  2. Risk Assessment • What is it? Elements of Prediction • Measurability • Vantage • Context • Imminence • Experience • Comparable Events • Objectivity • Investment • Replicability • Knowledge • PINs

  3. Why do it? • Makes a prediction of an individual’s future acts. Consistent with psychology’s role in a variety of settings.

  4. How do we do it? • JACA • Justification • Alternatives/ Options • Consequences • Good • Bad • Access

  5. Justification - 1st hurdle • Does the individual have subjective justification? Or have they justified a reason that they should do the aggressive act? • “I warned her what would happen and she did it anyway.”

  6. Alternatives • Do they have options other than acting out aggressively? • i.e. “I am calling my lawyer and will have your job” vs. “No one can help now!” • The second is a much more threatening response.

  7. Consequences • Does the individual identify any rewards or negative consequences to being aggressive or violent? • Examples of concerning responses would include “I can do jail time.” or “I might get caught but it would feel good!”

  8. Access • Does the individual have access to carrying out the threat? • We typically assume access is present. Just because we don’t think they will actually build a nuclear bomb, they might Google search and find they have everything for a pipe bomb.
