Introduction to Mass Violence and Terrorism Victimization
Incidents of mass violence are human-caused tragedies that can impact whole communities and the country at large. These types of disasters, which include shootings and acts of terrorism, often occur without warning and can happen anywhere, as shown by the events of September 11, 2001, the tragic shooting in a high school in Parkland, Florida, and the more recent shooting incident In Uvalde, Texas. This webinar, presented by Krista Flannigan, J.D., Crisis Management Consultant, who specializes in victimization issues related to high-profile victimization, including mass violence, will provide an overview of established factors in mass violence and terrorism incidents as learned from past incidents, including the role of responders, the media, and the community.
This is a free, virtual training opportunity offered by the Office of Justice Programs with support from the Office of Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center. Register here.
