School Violence Threat Management by Dr. Kris Mohandie is a Valuable Resource for Those who are Interested in Student Threat Assessment

The Indiana School Safety Specialists Academy issues School Violence Threat Management a Practical Guide for Educators, Law Enforcement, and Mental Health Professionals in the academies’ courses.  I found this book to be very helpful even though I have been teaching student threat assessment since the mid 1990s.  Dr. Mohandie brings a highly technical viewpoint to this proven process which will be especially helpful to mental health professionals who are tasked with helping to evaluate students who have made threats relating to school violence.

I feel that this is a solid book for the school safety professional.
