dangerousness  

Définition

  • Prior to the 1990s, the term dangerousness was used to describe violence risk, and more specifically, violent crime and offending behavior. Mental health professionals, typically psychiatrists and psychologists, were charged by the legal system with making predictions about future dangerousness; however, the methods by which such predictions were made relied largely on clinical judgments and rarely on scientific findings.
