Effective Threat Management: A Primer presents the ABCs for identifying, assessing, and managing potentially violent individuals.

Frederick S. Calhoun created and managed the national workplace violence prevention program for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), an agency with a workforce of over 50,000 employees. He implemented the workplace violence prevention policy, created the training program for all employees, and managed specific incidents involving potential workplace violence. Calhoun earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. During the 1990s, he was the lead researcher and principal architect in developing the threat assessment process used by the U. S. Marshals Service for analyzing risks to federal judicial officials. Calhoun has conducted hundreds of training seminars on threat management. With co-author Stephen W. Weston, Calhoun wrote five books on threat management. Calhoun continues to teach a periodic two-day seminar, ＂Managing Threats: Reducing the Risk of Violence,＂ designed to train law enforcement officers, mental health professionals, and private security officials in identifying, assessing, and managing individuals of violent intent.
