Join Dr. Brian Van Brunt and other subject matter experts as they share advanced violence risk and threat assessment concepts through a four-part certification series. Participants will review case study materials, checklists, and rubrics on topics such as incels, white supremacy, insider threats, and social media threat analysis. This session is open to all but will focus on advanced skills in threat assessment. Foundational knowledge in affective/targeted violence, transient and substantive threats, violence risk, and protective factors will be assumed and not reviewed. Group rates are available.
