Common questions
How does the Stalking Risk Profile differ from a general violence risk tool applied to a stalking case?+
It is built specifically around stalker typologies and stalking-relevant risk factors, such as fixation and prior relationship to the victim, rather than adapting a general violence instrument that was not designed around stalking's distinct behavioural patterns.
Does the SRP predict violence risk, stalking persistence, or both?+
It is designed to inform judgements about both continuation or escalation of stalking behaviour and the risk of associated violence, producing a formulation that feeds into a tailored management plan rather than a single undifferentiated score.
