|
Secret Service and FBI findings about the factors that lead to school violence include (11):
|
1. School violence is not an epidemic
2. All school shooters are not alike and there is no accurate profile of the violent offender 3. School shooters often have social difficulties, but they are not always loners 4. Although a common factor, revenge is not the exclusive motivation for school shootings 5. Most attackers had previously used guns and had access to them, but access to weapons is not the most significant risk factor 6. Unusual or aberrant behaviors or interests are not the hallmark of a student destined to become violent 7. Incidents of targeted violence at school are rarely impulsive 8. Prior to most incidents, the attacker told someone about his/her idea or plans Most shooting incidents were not resolved by law enforcement 9. In many cases, other students were involved in some capacity 10. In a number of cases, bullying played a key role in and could have been a predictor of the attack 11. Prior to the incident, most attackers engaged in behavior that caused concern |
|
Direct threat
|
identifies a specific act against a specific target delivered in a straightforward, clear, and explicit manner
|
|
Indirect threat
|
tends to be vague, unclear and ambiguous. Violence is implied, but threat is phrased tentatively, and suggests that a violent act could occur, not that it will occur.
|
|
Veiled threat
|
is one that strongly implies but does not explicitly threaten violence.
|
|
Conditional threat
|
is often seen in extortion cases. It warns that a violent act will happen unless certain demands or terms are met
|
|
Low Level of Threat
|
Poses a minimal risk to the victim and public safety
Is vague and indirect Information is inconsistent, implausible or lacks detail Lacks realism Content suggests person is unlikely to carry out the threat |
|
Medium Level of Threat
|
Could be carried out, although it may not appear entirely realistic
More direct and more concrete than a low level threat Wording suggests the individual has given some thought to how the act will be carried out Includes a general indication of place and time but signs still fall well short of a detailed plan No strong indication that the individual has taken preparatory steps Statements seek to convey that the threat is not empty: "I'm serious!" or "I really mean this!" |
|
High Level of Threat
|
Direct, specific, and plausible
Appears to pose imminent and serious danger to safety of others Suggests concrete steps have been taken, i.e., stalking or acquisition of a weapon Almost always requires bringing in law enforcement |
|
Four-Pronged Threat Assessment Model that examines:
|
