  • Title: Commentary: Stalking risk profile.
    Author: Schwartz-Watts DM.
    Journal: J Am Acad Psychiatry Law; 2006; 34(4):455-7. PubMed ID: 17185473.
    Abstract:
    Paul Mullen and his colleagues have developed a Stalking Risk Profile that is the latest model for assessing and managing stalkers. The model includes an assessment of the nature of the relationship between the stalker and his victim; the stalker's motivations; the general psychological, psychopathological, and social realities of the stalker; the circumstances of the victim, and the legal and mental health context. The model is not an actuarial scale, but rather an assessment to be used on a case-by-case basis. It recommends certain standardized tests as part of the assessment. The Stalker Risk Profile is the most thorough risk assessment to date. It includes victim variables and provides specifics for assessment and specifics for treatment of the stalker.
