%X In this article we examine the idea of expanding structured clinical judgement from primarily offender variables to a broader framework in which environmental (including staff) variables are given equal consideration in a comprehensive risk appraisal conducted for risk management purposes of intellectually disabled individuals. It is posited that only by contextualizing the individual¡¯s risk within environmental variables can an accurate portrayal of current dynamic risk (and hence the management of that risk) be construed.
