“…Although other researchers analysed the cases of filicidal mothers [ 59 , 60 , 61 ], few studies have focused on other aspects besides psychiatric issues. For example, Ben Ammar and colleagues [ 62 ] used the same research design as our study to analyse the association between Delusional misidentification syndromes (DMS) and the murder of a child by his mother. In an Italian study, Giacchetti and colleagues focused on personality traits in a sample of filicidal mothers, while other researchers focused on prevention measures [ 63 ].…”

Background: At an international level, the risk assessment and management process of violent offenders follows a standard method that implies well-defined theoretical models and the use of scientifically validated tools. In Italy, this process is still highly discretionary. The aim of this study is to highlight the advantages deriving from the use of risk assessment tools within the framework of a single case study; Methods: Recidivism risk and social dangerousness of an Italian woman perpetrator of filicide were assessed through the administration of the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) instrument supported by Historical Clinical Risk-20 Version 3 (HCR-20 V3); Results: The administration of LS/CMI showed that, in this single case, the subcomponents represent a criminogenic risk/need factor are: Family/Marital, Companions, Alcohol and Drug Problem and Leisure; while constituting strengths: employment and the absence of a Pro-criminal Orientation and an Antisocial Pattern; Conclusions: Data collected through LS/CMI indicated life areas of a single case, which should be emphasised not only to assess the risk of re-offending and social dangerousness but also for a social rehabilitation programme more suited to the subject. This study demonstrates that the LS/CMI assessment tool is suitable for the Italian context.
