Abstract
SummaryA small group of experienced community workers providing risk management for men with learning disabilities who sexually offend was studied. Attribution statements participants made about their risk appraisals were analysed using the Leeds Attributional Coding System (LACS). Results highlight the effort participants made to obtain sufficient information. They focused on factors external to the service‐user for most effective risk management, but their confidence was undermined by other staff minimizing the importance of such risks. Services that fail to develop specialist risk assessment skills and to address the modest ‘economics of effort’ required for effective practice may compromise risk management by community staff.
