Overview

Assessing Student Threats: A Handbook for Implementing the Salem-Keizer System is a manual for the implementation of a threat assessment system that follows the recommendations of the Safe Schools Initiative and the prescriptive outline provided by the FBI. Written from an educator's perspective with contributing authors from law enforcement, public mental health and the district attorney's office, this book contains an introduction to the basic concepts of threat assessment, a review of the research, and an outlined process for the application of a comprehensive yet expeditious multi-disciplinary system. The book also includes the protocols needed to assess threats, document concerns and interventions, and track the progress of supervision. As extra features, there are chapters on site security, community safety, adult threat assessment, and an adaptation of the system for higher education.

Reviews

John Van Dreal has long been one of the most critical and innovative 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.--Captain Robert J. Martin


In their analysis of current research and expert recommendations in the area of threat assessment, Van Dreal and his fellow authors have put into the hands of educators a formidable tool. Now, more than ever, the ability to accurately assess threat carries demonstrably monumental consequences of national significance. The organization of this critical information and research provides the means to save the lives of many by identifying and intervening with the troubled few. -- Cheri Lovre, Crisis Management Institute John Van Dreal has long been one of the most critical and innovative thinkers in the assessment and management of threats in an educational setting.
