The HCR-20v3 is a structured professional judgment framework developed by Douglas, Hart, and colleagues for the assessment of risk for violence among adolescents and adults in mental health, criminal justice, and forensic settings. Published in 2013, it represents the third version of one of the most widely validated risk assessment instruments in forensic psychology, synthesizing clinical judgment with empirical evidence of violence risk factors.
