How to Create and Run a Successful Threat Assessment Program

Prevention Takes Planning: Is Your Institution Forward-Thinking on Campus Safety?

While much attention is paid (laudably) to how we respond to violent incidents on campus, less is paid to preventing such incidents. At many colleges and universities, the creation of threat assessment teams and the use of other proactive steps lag behind crisis response.
