pericolosità sociale
social dangerousness


Explanation:
Your sentence describes a characteristic of the individual- to me the use of "social danger" would make it sound as though the individual were in danger. My dictionary gives "social dangerousness", and the phrase also appears on lots of relevant sites:
"The third chapter discusses the notion of social dangerousness as fixed in the Rocco Code, and the debate on dangerousness presumptions.."
"Of course today’s notion of social dangerousness owes the philosophical and juridical thought of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries much"

Add 'potential' to bring out the force of 'pericolosità'.
