TLDR
A tool designed to detect violence risk in juveniles, the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY), produced the highest rates of predictive validity, while an instrument used to identify adults at risk for general offending, the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R), and a personality scale commonly used for the purposes of risk assessment produced the lowest.About:

Psychopathic Personality Bridging the Gap Between Scientific Evidence and Public Policy
TL;DR: This comprehensive review addresses what psychopathy is, whether variants or subtypes exist, the sorts of causal influences that contribute to psychopathy, how early in development psychopathy can validly be identified, and how psychopathy relates to future criminal behavior and treatment outcomes and provides an integrative descriptive framework--the triarchic model--to help the reader make sense of differing conceptualizations.

Use of risk assessment instruments to predict violence and antisocial behaviour in 73 samples involving 24 827 people: systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Investigation of risk assessment tools commonly used to assess the risk of violence, sexual, and criminal behaviour found they seem to identify low risk individuals with high levels of accuracy, but their use as sole determinants of detention, sentencing, and release is not supported by the current evidence.

Thirty years of research on the level of service scales: a meta-analytic examination of predictive accuracy and sources of variability.
TL;DR: A comprehensive meta-analysis of the Level of Service scales, their predictive accuracy and group-based differences in risk/need, across 128 studies comprising 151 independent samples and a total of 137,931 offenders indicated that gender and ethnicity were not substantive sources of effect size variability.

TL;DR: It is suggested that violence risk assessment is a global phenomenon, as is the use of instruments to assist in this task, and improved feedback following risk assessments and the development of risk management plans could improve the efficacy of health services.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
