Eyes on the Target: Assessing and Training Tactical Personnel in Threat Assessment via Structured Behaviour Observation.
This program of research will apply an interdisciplinary and mixed method approach assessing the training and investigating the practices of behaviour and observation-based threat assessment via human observers in law enforcement and military personnel. International experts will be interviewed to account for practice-based and field-oriented research. The aim is to investigate the chances and challenges of using structured behaviour observation, to mitigate risks with competency, when facing impending violent behaviour and acute threats while on duty.
