Professionalization has come to the field of threat management. It
has developed a systematic theory unique to the field, recognized
authorities have emerged, and it is finding its own ethical code of
conduct. It is also beginning to grow its own culture, complete
with a vocabulary of its own. Although the field has a way to go,
it is well along the path to becoming a profession. One product of
this ongoing professionalization is the identification of certain
key concepts that, until now, have been unidentified or undefined.
Concepts and Case Studies in Threat Management explores the salient
themes essential to the practice and profession of threat
management. These concepts include case dynamics and intervention
synergy, the importance of determining key factors in each
situation, the power of inhibitors, differences among the various
venues of violence, and avoiding myopic management strategies and
isolationism. The authors illustrate these concepts and more, with
detailed examples and real-life case studies that give readers
practical, concrete perspectives on the myriad threat management
scenarios they may encounter as they practice their profession. The
book also introduces a glossary of terms, developed in a joint
effort between the authors and researchers at the University of
Nebraska's Public Policy Center, that have emerged during the
current professionalization of threat management. Moving the field
towards a more pragmatic approach, the book explores in depth the
current state of the threat management process. With a full
understanding of the components and challenges in each threat
management situation, those charged with protecting the public will
improve their approach to the tasks of identifying, assessing, and
managing individuals who pose a risk of violence.
