119. Targeted Violence

We examine the concept of targeted violence (e.g., mass attacks, school shootings, lone-actor attacks, assassinations) and how it differs from spontaneous or impulsive acts of violence. We discuss the warning signs, motivations, and pathways that may precede these crimes. The focus is on understanding behavior with the goal of improving prevention, threat assessment, and investigative insight.
