One issue in predicting dangerousness is that
A) the predictors may be so statistically reliable, they don't change from time to time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The predictors of dangerousness may not be equally valid for different criteria of dangerousness because the factors that indicate the likelihood of one type of dangerous behavior might not be relevant for predicting another type. This variability makes it challenging to accurately predict dangerousness across different contexts and types of acts.
