The threat or manifestation of violent behaviour as a result of mental illness is one of the reasons for hospitalisation. The syndrome of violent behaviour, including psychotic, impulsive and predatory violence, requires a correct diagnosis of the behaviour and specific interventions to prevent the manifestation of violence. At present, the assessment of the risk of violent behaviour is mainly based on a simple clinical assessment, but a number of diagnostic scales are available. These tools facilitate diagnosis and make the treatment of violent behaviour and the approach of the whole care team more effective. The introduction of such tools offers the hope of patienttailored medicine, in the sense of influencing the specific symptoms, interactions or organisation of care. The aim of our text is to provide a nonsystematic review of effective scales for assessing the risk of violent behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
