School Violence Threat Management (3.5 Hours)

Program description :

The 21st Century has arrived with a new sense of urgency to keep our children and schools safe. The Virginia Tech tragedy reminds us that these issues can occur in universities as they have in middle and high schools. The recent deaths of students in Colorado and Pennsylvania at the hands of outside offenders highlights that students are not the only threat sources and the need exists to protect our schools from outsiders with unique and dangerous agendas. The tragic deaths of hundreds of people, many of whom were children, in a school based terrorism incident in Russia further underscores this issue. There are new dimensions of threat for school personnel, mental health, legal, and school police and security professionals to consider. This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of cutting edge information about school based threat assessment, violence prevention and intervention strategies. It will assist in understanding the unique assessment, management, criminal, and civil legal issues associated with these cases and how to reduce one’s liability in the process. The material presented will be based on over 17 years of topic-specific experience, pre/post conviction interviews and reviews of school violence perpetrators, victims, and incidents. Participants will gain practical ideas that may be applied to their own educational setting.

This video is from a live conference presentation and is largely unedited. In some cases you may not hear a question asked by a participant however, in most cases, the presenter will repeat the question.  Video resolution is very good but not as high as possible to decrease downloading time. Best viewing is done with a mid-sized screen as a full screen will lose some of its resolution. We recommend you take notes just as you would if you were in a live conference as those notes will be helpful to learning and will come in handy for the test.
