Violence Assessment and Intervention: The Practitioner's Handbook,
now in its third edition, provides a proven methodology, grounded
in the current empirical research and the authors' experience in
successfully assessing and managing thousands of cases in a variety
of contexts and environments, for analyzing concerning behaviors
and potential threatening situations, and taking action in these
challenging, dynamic environments before tragedy occurs. Threat and
violence assessment and management is an essential process in
reducing violence and its consequences. The ongoing challenge for
those assessors, particularly in common workplace environments
(e.g., educational settings, public agency settings, and business
settings), is applying the applicable behavioral science research
in a practical and effective manner to maximize safety. The book
begins by demonstrating the threat and violence assessment process
from the point of the initial call and proceeds through the steps
that quantify the situation and determine the appropriate response.
The next section covers information gathering, victimology, and
formulas and tools for risk assessment. Finally, the book explores
organizational influences, school violence, ethics, security and
consultation issues; the formation and running of threat management
teams, and relevant laws related to violence assessment. This book
is a valuable reference for human resource professionals, security
professionals, mental health practitioners, law enforcement
personnel, and lawyers who are members of threat assessment teams,
provide threat and violence assessment and management
consultations, as well as expert witnesses in cases involving
workplace violence, school violence, security negligence; or
wrongful termination or disputed school disciplinary actions
related to aggressive, threatening, or violent behavior.
