MASS ATTACKS IN PUBLIC SPACES: 2016 – 2020 Published 2023
United States Secret Service
NATIONAL THREAT ASSESSMENT CENTERThis is an extremely valuable, eye-opening look at the threat assessments of 173 different events. This report provides solid direction and specific suggestions on how to identify threats ahead of time and to take action prior to allowing an event to unfold.
From the Director:
For 25 years, the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) has enhanced the agency’s protective and investigative operations and supported our no-fail mission to safeguard this nation’s highest elected officials.
NTAC’s pioneering research and expertise continue to inform the development of prevention and protection strategies employed by the Secret Service and have further assisted our public safety partners in their efforts to prevent targeted violence impacting communities across the United States.
This important work continues with the release of NTAC’s most recent publication, Mass Attacks in Public Spaces: 2016 – 2020.
This five-year study analyzes 173 targeted attacks that occurred from 2016 to 2020 in public or semi-public locations in the United States, including:BusinessesSchoolsHouses of WorshipMilitary BasesNonprofit ProvidersPublic TransportationOpen spaces, and other locations where we live our daily lives.
This is the latest entry in a series of reports that examine attacks during which three or more individuals were injured or killed.
By applying NTAC’s unique behavioral analysis to incidents of targeted violence occurring over a five-year period, Mass Attacks in Public Spaces: 2016 – 2020. represents NTAC’s most comprehensive examination to date of mass violence and its perpetrators.
This report builds upon a 25-year history of targeted violence research from the U.S. Secret Service̓s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) and demonstrates how mass attackers display a range of observable concerning behaviors across a variety of community systems as they escalate toward violence.
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.
Behavioral threat assessment programs are critical components of these community violence prevention efforts. These programs are not designed to predict who will become violent, but rather to identify, assess, and intervene with individuals who display threatening or other concerning behaviors that indicate they may pose a risk of harm to themselves or others.
As law enforcement agencies, workplaces, and other community organizations implement behavioral threat assessment programs, the approach should be guided by the research findings contained in this report. When conducted properly, a behavioral threat assessment will involve promoting bystander reporting to identify warning signs of potential violence, systematically gathering information about the circumstances and behaviors of concern, assessing the possibility of violence as an outcome, and implementing preventive management strategies to make positive and safe outcomes more likely.
This is an excellent resource to use as a basis for your own firm, business, nonprofit or enterprise, and understand how to recognize the threats before they become violent or deadly.
