Zusammenfassung	The Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG) is an actuarial instrument developed by Harris, Rice, and Quinsey (1993) to estimate the probability of violent recidivism among adult male offenders released from forensic psychiatric hospitals. It represents one of the earliest empirically validated violence prediction tools and remains widely used in correctional, forensic psychiatric, and civil commitment settings. The VRAG combines static historical variables with dynamic factors to generate a probability-based risk assessment.	The Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for Violence Risk (SAPROF) is a 17-item structured professional judgment tool developed by de Vogel, de Ruiter, Bouman, and colleagues (2012) to identify protective factors and strengths in individuals undergoing violence risk assessment. It complements risk assessment instruments (e.g., HCR-20v3) by systematically evaluating resilience, social support, motivation, and positive functioning—domains that mitigate violence risk and inform rehabilitation potential.
