Last updated
The SAPROF (Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors for violence risk) is a structured professional judgment tool for assessing protective factors against violence risk in adult offenders. It was designed as a positive complement to other SPJ risk assessment instruments, such as the HCR-20. A 2023 review of 39 articles with 5,434 subjects from 16 countries found good interrater reliability and moderate-to-good predictive performance for the absence of recidivism and institutional misconduct.
