Threat assessment is the process of assessing the actionability of violence from an individual to another person or group following theissuance of a direct or conditional threat. A Violence Risk Assessment (VRA) is a broader term used to assess any potential violence or danger, regardless of the presence of a vague, conditional, or direct threat. VRA’s require specific training and are typically conducted by psychologists, clinical counselors, social workers, case managers, law enforcement officers, student conduct officers, or other Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)/CARE team members. A VRA authorized by the Title IX Coordinator should occur in collaboration with the BIT, CARE or threat assessment team. A VRA is not an evaluation for an involuntary behavioral health hospitalization (e.g. 5150 in California, Section XII in Massachusetts, Baker Act in Florida), nor is it a psychological or mental health assessment. A VRA assesses the risk of actionable violence, often with a focus on targeted/predatory escalations and is supported by research from the fields of law enforcement, criminology, human resources, and psychology.
