Title: Incorporating Dynamic Risk Factors Into Forensic Case Formulations.
Authors: Ward, Tony (AUTHOR), Phillips, Alyssa (AUTHOR)

Subjects: Motivation (Psychology), Emotions, Prediction of criminal behavior, Treatment programs, Criminal behavior
Abstract: The article discusses the role of dynamic risk factors (DRF) in understanding and treating criminal behavior, arguing that while DRFs are commonly used to predict recidivism, they lack specificity and coherence as causal concepts. Instead, the authors propose that DRFs should be viewed as summaries of various variables associated with offending, rather than direct causes of behavior. They advocate for a shift towards understanding motivational systems and the underlying values and goals of individuals, suggesting that this approach can lead to more effective treatment plans that address broader life challenges rather than solely focusing on risk factors. The article emphasizes the importance of considering emotions and motivations in the context of intervention strategies. [Extracted from the article]
