SAPROF/Evidence
Method evidence record

SAPROF

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.
