Hi, Lyne:
We base our risk and probability assessments on three things:
1. self-assessment by client (based on history of client with abuser)
2. Our assessment based on facts, visual violence, length of relationship (
we use a DAT [ danger assessment tool developed by Dr. Jacqueline Campbell
at Harvard,] and most shelters uses similar assessment tools. Our policing
services use the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment [ODARA]
2. High risk designation by Department of Justice
If we don't have the expertise to assess the risk, then who does? And the
other issue here is, if the risk and probability is not definable, why is
the conflict relationship set up at all?
Pamela

"Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no
concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles
have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions ...for
safety on the streets, for child care, for social welfare...for rape crisis
clinics, women's refuges, reforms in the laws. If someone says, "Oh, I'm not
a feminist!", I ask, "Why? What's your problem?"

In Probability : same as for Intensity
Solution:
