SXSW 2023
Understanding & Preventing Mass Violence in the US
Description:
From school shootings to deadly protests, mass violence in the United States has permeated our daily lives. This panel discussion with world-renowned experts Fred Burton, Dr. Ron Schouten and Dorian Van Horn will outline the current threat landscape and how to prevent violence with “behavioral threat assessment” - an objective, fact-finding process used to determine if a person, group or situation poses a risk of violence to an identified or identifiable target. This session will also go inside the mind of a mass shooter: we’ll discuss how to recognize pre-incident indicators and the “pathway to violence” of a threat actor and the importance of protective intelligence technology. This all tells us one thing: most mass violence can be prevented, we just need to know what to look for.
