Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Strukturierte und empirisch fundierte Verfahren zur Einschätzung von Mißhandlungs- und Vernachlässigungsrisiken können einen Beitrag zur Qualifizierung von Jugendhilfe leisten. Anhand verschiedener, teilweise aus dem angloamerikanischen Raum übertragener Verfahren werden drei Ansätze vorgestellt. Risikofaktoren-Checklisten sollen vor allem eine systematische Erhebung und Verwertung relevanter Informationen sicherstellen. Verfahren basierend auf einem empirischen Prädiktormodell bieten eine zusätzliche Risikoeinschätzung zum klinischen Urteil. Spezielle psychodiagnostische Verfahren erschließen ergänzende standardisierte Informationen. Für die Aussagekraft aller drei Vorgehensweisen liegen empirische Belege vor. Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit in der Bundesrepublik werden erörtert.
Abstract. Structured and empirical founded instruments for the assessment of abuse and neglect risks can help to qualify youth care. Several instruments are used to demonstrate three risk assessment approaches. Some risk assessment checklists are aimed to organize relevant case information. Actuarial risk assessment offers an additional assessment of the risk status of a case. Psychodiagnostic instruments can provide additional relevant and standardized information. Within each approach some instruments have already demonstrated their validity. The possible use of risk assessment instruments in Germany is discussed.
