Recenzii

Over the past several years, there have been numerous publications, including a variety of guides and books, on various aspects of threat assessment. None of them have provided information, either in form, format, or substance, in a manner needed by grassroots personnel (including educators, law enforcement, and mental health personnel) to develop, conduct, and manage an effective threat assessment process.
Assessing Student Threats: Implementing the Salem-Keizer System, 2nd Edition is a user-friendly guide written for those toiling at the grassroots level to construct a viable threat assessment process. It provides information and guidance on a wide spectrum of issues related to the threat assessment process ranging from basic concepts of threat assessment to processes needed for developing, operating, and managing a threat assessment strategy, and it provides the information in a practical useable form.
As an additional bonus, the 2nd edition book delves into other areas that are of growing concern to many school districts, including domestic violence, teen dating, and stalking. The book does an excellent job of describing how the threat assessment process can be used to better identify and provide appropriate services to those involved in these acts.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in developing a threat assessment strategy for their school or community, as well as those who need to update their existing strategy. Adopting processes outlined in the book today could help save lives tomorrow.

Pundits and academics talk the talk. John Vandreal has walked the walk. The Salem system is the best school based threat assessment system in the United States. I strongly recommend Vandreal and his colleague, Sgt. Dave Okada, as the "go to" individuals for developing a practical, experienced based program. They are two of the best.
Based on years of successful experience, John Van Dreal and his colleagues have written a comprehensive, thoughtful, detailed, pragmatic, useful, and readable book on school threat assessment. This book will save lives.
Those who are developing or improving threat assessment programs at their educational institutions would do well to consider the thoughtful perspectives offered by John Vandreal and his colleagues. This book provides detailed guidance, gained through years of experience, on how to both conduct a threat assessment and how to set up such a program. It will most certainly aid in the creation and maintenance of safe environments in our schools and universities.
John Van Dreal has long been one of the most critical and innovate thinkers in the assessment and management of threats in an educational setting. Making sense of the complexity involved in managing violently inclined situations at schools is no small task, but Van Dreal and his contributing authors, have done it here. They very effectively identify ways to establish responsibilities, professional roles, and accountability.
John Van Dreal and his colleagues have written a threat assessment and school safety resource that is easily understood and user friendly to educators. As a superintendent of an educational servicedistrict that provides services totwenty two school districts totaling over sixty thousand students andlocated in six different counties,I have found that the Salem-Keizer system is adaptable to school systems of different sizes and resources. As an education practitioner and leader, I've found this book to be an essential guide in training staff in threat assessment and the implementation of a threat assessment system.
