Returning to a social environment where a former prisoner had lived with a partner to whom he had previously been violent would be considered a very different type of risk factor than is initially implied by living with partner. The basic steps include: Evaluating the environment, situation, tasks, and persons at risk Identifying the risk type, severity, and likelihood of an incident The influence of abuse on pregnancy intention.
