The Primer emphasizes practical, field-tested approaches to the challenges of identifying, assessing, and managing problem individuals.

In the Primer, author Frederick S. Calhoun, a respected expert in threat assessment and management, shows how to set up a threat management process free of elaborate procedures or significant commitments of resources. The Primer offers a practical, step-by-step process for identifying, assessing, and managing problem individuals. Each section answers specific questions. A quick reference guide allows users to quickly locate specific issues or topics. Text boxes throughout the Primer offer practical support, helpful cautions, and real case-study illustrations.

This user-friendly book will help threat management professionals in law enforcement and security positions as well as other professionals potentially facing threats, such as mental health practitioners, teachers, HR professionals, small business owners, and anyone else confronted with the need for threat management.

Frederick S. Calhoun created and managed the national workplace violence prevention program for the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), an agency with a workforce of over 50,000 employees. He implemented the workplace violence prevention policy, created the training program for all employees, and managed specific incidents involving potential workplace violence. Calhoun earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. During the 1990s, he was the lead researcher and principal architect in developing the threat assessment process used by the US Marshals Service for analyzing risks to federal judicial officials. Calhoun has conducted hundreds of training seminars on threat management. With co-author Stephen W. Weston, Calhoun wrote five books on threat management. Calhoun continues to teach a periodic two-day seminar, “Managing Threats: Reducing the Risk of Violence,” designed to train law enforcement officers, mental health professionals, and private security officials in identifying, assessing, and managing individuals of violent intent.
