Risk of ________ of dangerous suspect.

• A. Escape
• B. Flight
• C. Harm
• D. Capture

Answer: (A)

Understanding risk assessment for dangerous suspects hinges on evaluating whether the person is likely to break custody. The risk of escape directly reflects the possibility that the suspect will get away, which drives decisions about restraints, escort, and secure transport or confinement. This focus on preventing someone from fleeing is what makes escape the best fit. While harm to others is also a concern, the question specifically targets the likelihood of evading detention. Capture is the desired outcome, not the risk to manage, and flight is a closely related idea, but the term most commonly used in this context is escape.
