The relevance of this training is high. Risk assessments of adjudicated terrorists and violent extremists should be undertaken with risk indicators that are relevant to ideological motivated violence. Indicators used for ordinary common violence differ in substantive ways from those relevant to terrorists and therefore may have questionable relevance for the assessment of risk in terrorists. The VERA-2 is developed to address the need for an offence specific, utilitarian and relevant risk assessment tool for violent extremists.
