Publisher's summary

In recent history, planned violent attacks have persisted in the United States and abroad. These attacks have continued to illustrate the need for improved threat assessment and management efforts at local and national levels.

In the few years since its publication in 2014, the International Handbook of Threat Assessment has become the gold standard textbook for the prevention of targeted violence. With this new edition, editors J. Reid Meloy and Jens Hoffmann have expanded their landmark text, reflecting the rise of scholarship and growth within the field of threat assessment and management. Since the first edition, new chapters focusing on lone actor terrorism, insider threats, cyberthreats, the use of artificial intelligence, bystander effects, and enhanced interviewing techniques, offer new guidance for threat assessment professionals.

International Handbook of Threat Assessment is the comprehensive resource for mental health practitioners, law enforcement, and professionals working to prevent targeted violence. This guide will serve as inspiration for further research and equip those working to intercept harm with the necessary tools for intervention.

Contains mature themes.

Ease of review

Great way to listen to and review these highly impactful areas. I own the book, the Kindle, and the Audible version finally got my through every chapter. Listen on your commute, on a walk, on a bike ride, but listen because this is packed with great information.

Archaic Views

Do you live in an urban community and wonder why law enforcement doesn’t understand crime? Read this book and you’ll find out. The chapters on terrorism are informative. Given the information about terrorism, it seems reasonable to expect they could come to the same conclusions about urban violence. People are “radicalized” by violence. Violence that is normalized and socially reinforced by community members, often times those in authority. The authors conclusions on sexual violence are wrong. The authors view is from an experience never having lived behind the communities where these things are prevalent, normalized, and monetized by millionaires and billionaires.
