"Fusing leading-edge research with insights that come only from hard-earned clinical experience, Singh, Bjorkly, and Fazel have established violence risk assessment as a phenomenon of global reach. In International Perspectives on Violence Risk Assessment they and their collaborators authoritatively document the similarities and differences in approaches to forecasting harm across both cultural contexts and legal traditions. With any luck, this remarkable book portends a surge of worldwide collaboration in both scholarly investigation and professional practice." --John Monahan, PhD, Shannon Distinguished Professor of Law, Professor of Psychology, and Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences, University of Virginia
