Disrupting the Pathways to Violence
Targeted violence is preventable. Community approaches can help.
Preventing Targeted Violence
There is no single pathway to violence but there are common elements in the experience of people who carry out violence. Spotting and reporting concerning behaviors is the first step to prevention. Once reported, caring community professionals need to know and implement interventions to manage the behavior and divert the person from the pathway toward violence.
