This chapter by WAVR-21 co-developer Stephen White includes an in-depth application of the instrument in complex work contexts, illustrated with a case example. The Handbook itself stands as a landmark accomplishment in the field of threat assessment: “International Handbook of Threat Assessment defines the foundations of threat assessment, systematically explores its fields of practice, and provides information and instruction on the best practices of threat assessment. Skillfully edited by J. Reid Meloy and Jens Hoffman, this volume explains the difference between threat assessment and traditional violence risk assessment and discusses threat assessment terminology and practice, contemporary understanding of threats, warning behaviors concerning targeted violence, and the legal basis of threats and targeted violence interventions. It elaborates on the various domains of threat assessment and presents the functions of a number of threat assessment individuals and units. This book will serve as the standard reference in the field of threat assessment and will be invaluable to mental health and criminal justice professionals who practice threat assessment.”
