dc.description.notesIn response to both the large numbers of domestic violence cases entering the US criminal justice system, and the fact that a high proportion of batterers re-offend, prosecutors, judges, advocates, probation officers and others involved in the system have initiated empirically validated methods to assess levels of dangerousness or future risk among arrested batterers. This article evaluates a pilot investigation of the utility of one of most commonly used such measures, the Danger Assessment Scale. Initially designed to assess the risk of homicide among batterers, the authors believe that it also might be useful in predicting risk for future domestic violence generally. Attempting to determine the relative predictive value of the Danger Assessment Scale, the authors compared its predictive ability to that of the already revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2-Form A), the most widely used measure of past violence severity. Findings suggest that the Danger Assessment Scale, administered to 92 women, victims of domestic violence, is a far stronger predictor of abuse recurrence than the CTS2. Mindful of the limitations of the small sample size, the authors suggest that it be replicated with larger samples, several different risk measures, and more detailed outcome measures administered regularly over a period of time. Implications for future research are briefly discussed.en
