Notes:	In intimate partner violence (IPV) risk assessment, there is consensus that a large gap exists between research and practice. This exploratory [US] study interviewed 13 practitioners working with IPV victims to generate ideas about the nature of this gap, and found that only two conducted standardized risk assessment. Others felt imposing structure might detract from the quality of their work. Results support the need for different techniques in different contexts; some adjust only speed of services according to their risk perception, whereas others use in-depth information to customize services. Perspectives appear particularly disparate regarding victim minimization of risk. Implications for future work are discussed. [?2011 SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
