ABSTRACT

Many studies and reports, both governmental and academic, plus legislation, have suggested and some mandated the establishment of threat assessment teams to protect campuses. These teams have proliferated across university, college and community college campuses nationally. Despite these efforts, targeted violence continues in our communities and on our campuses. The community in and around Salem, Oregon has instituted a community-based approach, the Willamette Valley Adult Threat Advisory Team, that is seen by many as the future of targeted mass violence prevention. We examine the advantages and benefits of incorporating a community-based approach to threat assessment. and explore the role higher education can play in those efforts.

摘要

许多研究和报告，包括政府和学术机构，以及立法，都建议并要求建立威胁评估小组来保护校园。这些团队遍布全国的大学、学院和社区大学校园。尽管做出了这些努力，我们的社区和校园中仍有针对性的暴力事件。俄勒冈州塞勒姆及其周边的社区制定了一种以社区为基础的方法，即威拉米特谷成人威胁咨询小组，被许多人视为有针对性的大规模暴力预防的未来。我们研究了采用基于社区的方法进行威胁评估的优势和好处。并探索高等教育在这些努力中可以发挥的作用。
