Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management: Prevent and Protect
A Resource Compendium for Further Learning
This document presents 14 distinct chapters on implementing behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) strategies within hospital settings. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of approaches aimed at reducing violence and preventing threats from escalating into harmful actions. The authors, recognized by the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit-1 (BAU-1) as leaders in the field, bring expertise from security, legal and law enforcement backgrounds, offering practical insights and multidisciplinary strategies tailored for health care environments. This resource, which is especially valuable for health care security professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and sharpen their ability to respond effectively to threats within their organizations and communities, serves as the complement to Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management: Prevent and Protect; A Leadership Guide for Preventing Targeted Violence in Health Care Settings.
