Written by the former head of the FBI’s active shooter program, Katherine Schweit, shares an insider look at what we’ve learned, and failed to learn, about protecting our businesses, houses of worship, and schools. The book demystifies the language around active shooters, mass killings, threat assessment teams, and more. Never gathered before into one place, readers gain access to evidence-based research and the most up-to-date information as they travel step-by-step through shooting prevention efforts and shooting aftermaths. Beginning with an understanding of how to spot potential shooters, readers learn the many ways to prevent shootings and the role threat assessment teams play. Threat assessment experts provide insight on what kind of information they need, and how they use it to intercept a person on a pathway to violence. The book guides readers through the process of assessing building security weaknesses and shows how to find vulnerabilities in people, programs, and policies. Packed with practical advice for training every age, from preschoolers, to elementary school children, to adults, the book also includes the author’s own teaching outline on how to train people to run, hide, fight. The book gathers together examples to help build individualized emergency operations plans and shows how to tap vast government resources to cover costs to your office and employees, districts and students, and survivors and victim’s families. Hear sober advice gathered from those who have survived and responded to shootings at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Aurora theater, Los Angeles International Airport, and more. Their common theme is that it can happen anywhere and has. All the more reason to accept that as each of us better understand what happens and how to prevent it, we can be the ones to stop the killing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49887655952657,"sku":"CIN1538146924G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50167590551825,"sku":"CIN1538146924VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51504092905745,"sku":"NIN9781538146927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52533724414225,"sku":"NLS9781538146927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1538146924.jpg?v=1759399575"},{"product_id":"how-to-talk-about-guns-with-anyone-book-katherine-schweit-9781947635586","title":"How To Talk About Guns with Anyone","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50133693006097,"sku":"CIN1947635581G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056049389841,"sku":"NIN9781947635586","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107619467537,"sku":"CIN1947635581VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52836953555217,"sku":"GOR014635800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1947635581.jpg?v=1750836537"},{"product_id":"stop-the-killing-book-katherine-schweit-9781947635579","title":"Stop the Killing","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50177586790673,"sku":"CIN1947635573VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055862219025,"sku":"NIN9781947635579","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1947635573.jpg?v=1751282274"},{"product_id":"stop-the-killing-book-katherine-schweit-9781947635654","title":"Stop the Killing","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51055904293137,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055907078417,"sku":"NIN9781947635654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1947635654.jpg?v=1751125334"},{"product_id":"simple-guide-to-the-second-amendment-book-katherine-schweit-9781947635777","title":"A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eCurious about the Second Amendment and its evolving meaning over the past two centuries?

For decades, only decaying police files hinted at what happened to these forgotten cold cases murders.  \nUntil two women decided to listen to the dead.\nWomen Who Talk to the Dead chronicles the remarkable journey of Detroit Police Detective Shannon Jones and FBI Special Agent Leslie Larsen. Surrounded by skepticism and bureaucratic roadblocks, these women spearhead Operation UNITED-the largest coordinated exhumation of unidentified murder victims in FBI history.\nThrough rain-soaked cemetery digs, crumbling case files, and bone-filled body bags, Jones and Larsen assemble a team led by female forensic anthropologists, scientists, and investigators who methodically unearthed Detroit's painful past. Their primary goal: to identify the nameless dead and bring closure to families who had spent decades wondering what happened to their loved ones. Their ultimate goal: solve 200 murder cases.\nKatherine Schweit takes readers inside this unprecedented cold case investigation, revealing:\nThe scientific breakthroughs that allow forensic experts to \"hear\" what bones can tell us decades after death\nThe emotional toll of searching for answers when everyone else has moved on\nThe bitter reality of which murders are solved and which victims society deems disposable\nHow a small team of dedicated women changed a system that has too often allowed killers to escape justice simply because their victims were poor, marginalized, or forgotten\nPart forensic procedural, part social justice narrative, this book exposes the tragic consequences when the criminal justice system fails those most vulnerable. It also celebrates the resilience and determination of the law enforcement officers who refuse to let these forgotten victims remain nameless.\nSome of Detroit's dead have finally reclaimed their identities-but hundreds more still whisper from unmarked graves, waiting for someone to listen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756718649617,"sku":"NIN9781947635791","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53034766336273,"sku":"GOR014708169","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53390255423761,"sku":"CIN1947635794G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781947635791.jpg?v=1763576856"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-katherine-schweit.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
