Beyond defensible decision-making : towards reflexive assessment of risk and dangerousness
Probation Journal, London, V.47,n.3(Sep. 2000), 173-183
RISCO, PROBATION SERVICE
Robin Tuddenham critiques recent trends in risk assessment practice, arguing that the objective of achieving "defensible" (as opposed to "defensive") decisions has, to all intents and purposes, failed. He proposes that probation practice must now embrace a more dynamic notion of risk assessment, which has at its centre the concept of "reflexivity", and sets out the components of such an approach.
