Abstract

We present the case of a Canadian man who perpetrated serial intimate partner violence that included incidents of severe physical violence and stalking against female victims, followed by a case analysis and formulation using the second edition of the Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation of Risk (B-SAFER; Kropp, Hart, & Belfrage, 2010) and the Guidelines for Stalking Assessment and Management (SAM; Kropp, Hart, & Lyon, 2008). The findings illustrate how law enforcement, corrections, and forensic mental health professionals can use structured professional judgment (SPJ) guidelines for threat assessment and management in complex, high-risk cases. The findings also highlight the importance of considering victim vulnerability factors in decision making with respect to threat assessment and management.
