Abstract

This review offers a critical summary of 15 years of research and application of the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment guide (SARA). Main areas of focus are how the scale was developed, strengths and limitations of individual items, and professional uses, including who it has been validated on and the reliability and predictive accuracy of the scale. Based on current evidence, the SARA is a defensible method for intimate partner violence risk assessment; however, users should be cognizant of its strengths and limitations (discussed in this paper) in order to guide their ethical/appropriate application of the instrument.
