תקציר	The Structured Professional Judgment (SPJ) framework represents a contemporary approach to forensic risk assessment that synthesizes clinical judgment with empirical evidence of risk factors. Rather than producing a numerical score, SPJ guides clinicians through systematic evaluation of case-specific evidence to arrive at a structured, transparent categorical risk judgment. SPJ has become the preferred methodology in many forensic settings globally and underlies instruments such as the HCR-20v3 (violence risk) and sexual offender assessment protocols.	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.
