Today's world of rapid social, technological, and behavioral change
provides new opportunities for communications with few limitations
of time and space. Through these communications, people leave
behind an ever-growing collection of traces of their daily
activities, including digital footprints provided by text, voice,
and other modes of communication. Meanwhile, new techniques for
aggregating and evaluating diverse and multimodal information
sources are available to security services that must reliably
identify communications indicating a high likelihood of future
violence.
In the context of this changed and changing world of communications
and behavior, the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory
Sciences of the National Research Council presents this volume of
three papers as one portion of the vast subject of threatening
communications and behavior. The papers review the behavioral and
social sciences research on the likelihood that someone who engages
in abnormal and/or threatening communications will actually then
try to do harm. The focus is on how the scientific knowledge can
inform and advance future research on threat assessments, in part
by considering the approaches and techniques used to analyze
communications and behavior in the dynamic context of today's
world.
The papers in the collection were written within the context of
protecting high-profile public figures from potential attach or
harm. The research, however, is broadly applicable to U.S. national
security including potential applications for analysis of
communications from leaders of hostile nations and public threats
from terrorist groups. This work highlights the complex psychology
of threatening communications and behavior, and it offers knowledge
and perspectives from multiple domains that contribute to a deeper
understanding of the value of communications in predicting and
preventing violent behaviors.
