Popis: This chapter provides an overview of important considerations in conducting evaluations of violence risk. The potential benefits and clinical applications of consulting social networking sites (SNS) and other internet-based data for these types of forensic evaluations are discussed. Practical, ethical, and legal considerations distinctive to using SNS data in appraising a defendant’s risk for engaging in future acts of violence are also provided. The chapter uses two de-identified, hybridized case examples to illustrate this discussion.
