It does.

I did understand what you were asking. You're thinking of how a crisis team goes about evaluating clients. I'm in no way qualified to even guess at those things.

Bear in mind, though. Crisis teams devised these protocols and procedures because they have to have some way of handling complex and largely chaotic situations.

Forgive me for being dramatic.... but thousands of women in the US die at the hands of their partner each year (I'll go check this figure and amend this if necessary).

If you are like the UK, about 20% of those women will have asked for help!

So 20% of those crisis teams failed the women who went to them.

So, I'm just trying to say... it seems to me that trying to predict a violent attack might not be like assessing other psych issues.
