Summary of Mark Follman's Trigger Points

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In August 2015, the Disney hotel in Anaheim, California, hosted the annual meeting of the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals. Hundreds of forensic psychologists, police officers, and other security experts traveled from around the country to share strategies to head off psychopaths, rapists, and mass murderers.

#2 The twelve hundred or so members of ATAP, a small but flagship organization for the field, convened each year in Disneyland to focus on the developing science and art of preventing violent tragedies.

#3 The field of threat assessment is still relatively unknown, and the details of two cases shared with me by sources closely guarded by the teams. They indicated that they had been able to intervene at stages of heightened concern and help people who appeared headed for terrible acts.

#4 The affirmative answer to whether we could have done more to detect and resolve the danger before it was too late depends on a negative: the absence of a violent outcome is evidence of success. But how could you really know you prevented an attack if none occurred.
