Abstract
How can we anticipate and mitigate crimes, attacks, or betrayals by bad actors?” This is the perennial question faced by security professionals. The contributions of the discipline of behavioral threat assessment have been invaluable in enabling the disruption and diversion of those preparing to commit acts of targeted violence.
Behavioral threat assessment has been most effective in interrupting the “flash-to-bang” cycle – that is, the time between the first overt action or broadcast of intent, and the commission of the bad act itself. Keeping people safe means doing even better. Combining operational art with behavioral science, it is possible to begin risk assessment even earlier in the operational cycle, to get “left of flash.”
