Sandy Hook, Norway Attacks, San Bernardino as well as many other violent events have one thing in common, they were well planned. In this episode, Rob Burton interviews Dr. Marisa Randazzo, an international expert on threat assessment, targeted violence, and violence prevention. This particular podcast is truly an eye-opener and a must listen for anyone who’s involved in the protection of employees within the workplace or the wider community. It takes you inside the mind of killers and how they prepare for a violent attack. Marisa breaks down the behavioral patterns that are evident in almost every case she has ever worked or studied. Listen to Marisa talk about some actual recent cases where clear signs were evident that the individual was about to, or actually did turn violent. It is these signs that we need to identify to try and prevent such attacks in our businesses and communities.
Great interview Rob! My biggest question is, If the Threat Assessment Team is focused on behavioral changes and group/individual signs, who looks at the larger, overall picture of internal and external threats, risks, and vulnerabilities? While many shootings in the past have come from students in schools, just as many have been perpetrated from outside threats. Plus the more common threats and their associated hazards.
