Abstract
Following clarification of some basic terms, this article offers an overview of the literature that considers the actuarial assessment of risk of general reoffending, risk of violent reoffending and risk of sexual reoffending for mentally disordered offenders. It is suggested that we can build up this robust research base to devise clinically sensitive risk management systems. The outline of such a system is offered for discussion amongst colleagues working the field.
