Aprašymas

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.
