Violence Risk Appraisal Guide  

Definition

  • The violence risk appraisal guide (VRAG) is an actuarial instrument that assesses the risk of further violence among men or women who have already committed criminal violence. On average, it has yielded a large effect in the prediction of violent recidivism in more than three dozen separate replications, including several different countries, a wide range of follow-up times, several operational definitions of violence, and many offender populations. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG)]
