Profiling High-Risk Offenders: A Review of 136 Cases
TLDR
In this paper, the authors outline a profile of 136 dangerous offenders and illustrate the types of risk that lead to assessments of imminently high risk, and provide details of which members of the public appear to be most at risk from this offender group.Abstract:
The Criminal Justice Act (2003) introduced a new sentencing framework for so-called dangerous offenders. In doing so the licence periods spent in the community by this offender group are set to increase. Multi-agency public protection panels exist to manage those offenders currently deemed to pose the greatest levels of risk to communities. To date, little is known about the range of risks this offender group presents. This article outlines a profile of 136 of these offenders and illustrates the types of risk that lead to assessments of imminently high risk. It also provides details of which members of the public appear to be most at risk from this offender group.read more
