instruments for forensic child abuse and offender evaluations

I work on a forensic evaluation team for a trauma clinic. We do parental fitness as well as perpetrator and trauma evals for children, juveniles and adults. All of our clients are cps involved, and most are court involved through child and protection petitions. We are interested in incorporating standardized instruments into our practice protocols for our evaluations. As a doctoral student, I am familiar with some instruments used to measure level of violence, conflict, risk assessments, level of trauma and child abuse potential. However, I have found that some instruments while very useful for research are not as useful for evaluations. We are looking for standardized instruments which we can use in our forensic evaluations (especially those that have been normed to the population).

Can anyone suggest some instruments (e.g. - instruments that can ALSO be used reliably in evaluations rather than just for research purposes?). We are familiar with the CBCL and are looking for a list of other related and potentially helpful instruments to review. Please include information on how to obtain such instruments if available.

Thank you in advance for your responses,
