Concepts and Case Studies in Threat Management

Professionalization has come to the field of threat management. As a result, certain key concepts have been identified that until now have been undefined. This volume 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 with examples and case studies, giving readers practical perspectives on the myriad threat management scenarios they may encounter.
