Abstract		The author presents the procedure of risk analysis that has been developed to measure the probability of danger in cases of compulsory hospitalisation, as well as of community care. The procedure distinguishes between threat and danger as the components of risk. This distinction is important not only because it allows a more realistic assessment of the degree of risk, but also because it allows a better understanding of both the situation of risk and decision-making in such situations. The procedure may lead to less paternalism and to the considerations of the tactia of reducing risk. Paradigmatically, this procedure, introduced in particular by social work, is a significant step forward from the traditional quasi causal models of medicine and law.
