GOLDSTEIN, Naomi E. S.; HOUCK, Mark James y FOLINO, Jorge Oscar. Current topics regarding international research on the violence risk. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.1, pp.27-43. ISSN 1794-3108.
Introduction: The production of research dealing with the violence risk shows significant international heterogeneity and, particularly, scarce results and a slow dissemination in Latin America. Objectives: To obtain a configurative vision of topics that are relevant to risk assessment and secondary prevention of violence that are the present matters on which international research is focused. Method: The review of scientific articles published in English during August-October 2013 and in Spanish through 2013-2014. The selection made was based on the works written in English as found by the "Alliance for International Risk Research", and on those published in Spanish observed through searches in LILACS and SciELO with the Key Words "riesgo" y "violencia" ("risk and violence"), apart from expert-network consultations. Results: 45 articles in English and seven in Spanish were found relevant for the study purposes. Widespread concern was confirmed with respect to the systematization of violence risk assessment and the planning and monitoring of secondary prevention interventions. Topics relating to reliability, validity and practical usefulness of violence-risk assessment instruments prevailed.
