The FAVT is a self-report assessement designed on the basic hypothesis that an individual’s thought process strongly influences his or her behavior. It measures different types of thoughts that have been found to predispose an individual to violent behavior.

Derived directly from clinical material gathered from violent individuals, FAVT-A items represent thoughts experienced prior to committing violent acts.
The results from the FAVT-A will assist the practitioner in making decisions concerning safety and the necessity of separating violent adolescents from prospective targets. Based on assessment, decisions regarding violent adolescents’ level of incarceration, their placement in other restrictive settings, and/or their safety in various nonrestrictive settings can be made. In addition, the FAVT-A can improve the ability of professionals to provide the appropriate level and type of intervention for potentially violent adolescents.
