Since the implementation of the new penal law (2021), it is even more important to assess the risk of violent behavior in prisoners. Scholars developed a new screening tool commissioned by the Dutch prison system. The tool predicts violence within and after detention and first empirical evidence shows that these predictions are accurate.
Dutch prisons use the tool as a standard part of intakes and later considerations on re-integration. In this lecture, information is provided on the setup, the implementation, use and empirical evidence of the screening tool.
