Through federal grant funding and technical assistance, the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) has supported the development of dozens of behavioral threat assessment and management teams in communities across the United States.
Based on this work and engagement with experts, researchers, and practitioners, this Prevention Resource outlines how behavioral threat assessment and case management models may benefit by adopting a public health-informed approach to targeted violence and terrorism prevention. It also summarizes emerging practices in case management techniques to build practitioner capacity at all levels of violence prevention.
A case study describes how these recommendations can be put into practice.
