Abstract

evaluation. So that, it is presented along the issue, the evolution of this concept and its
connection with the idea of evaluation of dangerousness. Are analysed the instruments
that better define the two principles patterns to evaluate the risk: the predictive violence
model and the reductive violence model. From the analysis of these two conceptual
ideas, several generations of evaluation instruments of risk are analysed, emphasizing
their advantages and inconvenients for the technicians who need them to make
decisions concerning the measures they may apply to the individuals that when
committing crimes, need intervention from the justice system.
