Most of them are dudes, men, but that's not predictive of anything either because half the population in America is male. Most men in America aren't going to go try to assassinate the president or commit a school shooting. So no one characteristic or demographic factor tells you anything. It's about the behavior. It's about the process, the circumstances.

And that was first learned by the Secret Service Mental Health Collaboration. There were others innovating this at the time, too. There was some stuff going on at the LAPD in Los Angeles in the 1980s that was really focused on celebrity stalking. That Rebecca Schaefer murder in 1989.

There were some people working in the private sector and security, close protection for celebrities, political figures. FBI was studying violent crime and was really focused on workplace violence in that era in the 1980s. That was the era you might recall going postal.

And actually, I saw that you're from Royal Oak, right? I am. That was one of the big postal shootings.

Yeah. The problem has come up in different settings over the decades. Workplace violence and those kinds of shootings was much more the focus back then. And after Columbine, schools became much more focused. And that's part of the reason why people remember that as the first case incorrectly.

So that also is another way of seeing this, really zooming out and seeing this is a type of behavior we can look at that manifests in different ways. And we can understand it as a process, as a human behavior.

You know, in the context of violence prevention, of doing this work of behavioral threat assessment, they're part of a team of collaborators in evaluating cases of concern. This is a really interesting thing, too, I think, to think about in the evolution of this work. Because it's not the traditional role of law enforcement essentially to prevent crime.
