Abstract: Risk assessment tools are increasingly employed at the policing stage to consider health-related needs and predict crime outcomes such as repeat intimate partner violence (IPV). Decisions informed by these tools can influence health outcomes, disproportionately affecting certain groups and potentially exacerbating health inequalities. However, their predictive accuracy, quality, and reliability remain uncertain.
