This essay will provide a training scenario for an active shooter response. There will be a discussion of the organizational goal, adjusted procedures, and their strengths and weaknesses within…

Only having a few weeks, it’s hard to determine which factors are actually having an effect. For the freshman seminar courses, Howard and Jones (2000) and Black et al.
