The HCR-20 V3 (Douglas et al., 2013) is a set of Structured Professional Judgment guidelines for comprehensive assessment and management of risk for violence. First published in 1995, it has become the world’s most commonly used violence risk assessment tool—translated into more than 20 languages, used in more than 40 countries, and the focus of hundreds of research articles and presentations. Version 3 incorporates the latest advances in case formulation and scenario planning.
Protect International publishes and distributes user Manuals and single-use Worksheets for the HCR-20 V3.
Training is essential to ensure appropriate use of the HCR-20 V3.
Protect International offers training workshop in the use of the HCR-20 V3. See our website for a list of upcoming live (in person and online) trainings, as well as for self-paced, on-demand training. Our standard training is about 12 to 14 contact hours in length and includes completion of one or more practice cases.
Alternatively, evaluators can ensure they are adequately trained to use the HCR-20 V3 through some combination of self-study and supervised practice.
Protect International offers licenses for use of the HCR-20 V3 Manual and Worksheets in electronic format. Manuals are provided in readable/printable format, and Worksheets are available in readable/printable and fillable formats. A licensing agreement may be an economical alternative to purchasing and distributing materials in print form for organizations with many evaluators or that conduct many evaluations.
