This article describes Calhoun and Weston's blue-collar approach to threat management. It defines seven concepts for an effective threat management program, including identifying hunters versus howlers, situation need to knows, situation dynamics and intervention synergy, and ways to avoid bunkers, silos, and myopic management strategies. The article also details 10 guidelines drawn from the authors' experiences managing both hunters and howlers. It looks back over the last 25 years to offer advice to the next generation about the profession's future after achieving professionalization.
The authors rethink the threat assessment model they first conceptualized during the mid-1990s. Styled the “path to intended violence,” the model postulates that individuals intending to commit an act of violence move from grievance to ideation to research and planning to preparation to breach to attack. The authors affirm that the path remains universal for understanding and preventing acts of intended violence, but they find that modern technology, including Internet resources and social media, complicate efforts by threat managers to identify, assess, and manage problem individuals because so much can be done online that heretofore required observable actions by the subject. The authors illustrate their new thinking with current case studies and examples. They conclude by introducing the concept of detect, report, and act (DRA) as the essential building block for any effective threat management program.
