2023 – NTAC VALIDATES INNOVATIVE PREVENTION TOOLS NEEDED

On January 25, 2023, the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) released their latest report research 173 targeted attacks that took place in public spaces between 2016 and 2020.

  • “In short, NTAC’s examination of the attacks contained in this report indicates that targeted violence is preventable when communities are equipped with the appropriate tools, training, and resources to intervene before violence occurs.”
  • “All of the 180 attackers either 1) elicited concern from others, 2) shared one or more concerning communications, 3) demonstrated behavioral changes, or 4) engaged in overt planning behaviors prior to their attacks.” 
  • “Informal community systems are those that lack structure, a centralized location, and system of records. These systems tend to consist of interpersonal relationships, including family, friends, neighbors, and members of the online community. Information from informal community is gathered almost exclusively through interviews. Nearly every attacker who made a concerning communication or elicited concern in others (n = 130, 96%) had these behavioral factors observed by at least one informal community system.”
