Reflecting on the week.... Not sure why policing is so obsessed with the outcome when identifying risk, ie risk of exploitation, slavery, suicide - the factors, such as trauma, which put people at heightened risk of one adverse outcome,may also put them at risk of another .thread
I understand that policing must operate within laws when understanding the outcome, clearly, ie is this person a victim of a crime, so we understand the investigative skills needed but, to be honest if there is a crime is sometimes lost.
We need a clearer understanding of risk factors but one where the outcome matters less than the context. What happens otherwise is we have one assessment saying this is X risk for abuse but another for X for domestic abuse and X exploitation etc
