The School Shooter: A Threat Assessment Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781507676493)

This book presents a systematic procedure for threat assessment and intervention. The model is designed to be used by educators, mental health professionals and law enforcementagencies. Obviously, the same events that led the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) to this subject have also led school administrators and law enforcement officialsacross the country to consider and develop their own policies and procedures for dealing withthreats or acts of violence in schools. This model is offered in the hope that it may help refine andstrengthen those efforts. Its fundamental building blocks are the threat assessment standardsoutlined in Chapter II, which provide a framework for evaluating a spoken, written, and symbolicthreat, and the four-pronged assessment approach, which will be described in Chapter III and provides a logical, methodical process to examine the threatener and assess the risk that the threat will be carried out.
