This book investigates the systematic methodology required to identify, evaluate, and manage individuals who pose a potential threat to organizational safety.

James T. Turner and Michael G. Gelles utilize their extensive backgrounds in forensic psychology and law enforcement to construct a framework for threat assessment. The authors argue that effective prevention relies on behavioral analysis rather than simple profiling. They provide a structured approach for human resources, security professionals, and management to mitigate risks before violence occurs.

Experts in the field of security and human resources recognize this work as a practical manual for implementing safety protocols in high-stakes environments. Readers frequently note the clinical clarity of the authors' approach to complex behavioral patterns.
