Criminal Behaviorology
Title: 51 School Attacks Averted!
Frank Straub has been in law enforcement for decades. He has been an advisor to West Point, Indianapolis Chief of Police, a White Plains, NY, Public Safety Director, an Executive Deputy Inspector General for the Office of the New York State Inspector General, among other things. He is now the Director of Strategic Studies & Center for Mass Violence Response Studies. He has a PhD in Criminal Justice and is now interested in becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). He recently wrote “A Comparison of Averted and Completed School Attacks from the Police Foundation Averted School Violence Database,” with psychologist Peter Langman. In this interview Frank discusses the comparison of 51 school attacks averted to those completed.
Show Highlights:
- Frank Straub’s extensive career in law enforcement and his path to an interest in behavior analysis.
- The research that has been done on thwarting school attacks. The distinctions found between the 51 school attacks prevented, and those that were tragically completed.
- How reporting on these stories matters and why the focus on victims can be beneficial.
- How the monitoring of social media has made a difference.
- Operational definition of a school attack and why they are similar to incidents of workplace violence.
- Of course, not all school attacks can be prevented. Nonetheless, we look for opportunities to intervene, which can be so important.
