Behavior Science: Violence Prediction and Control: A Primer

The Violence Prediction and Control Course was made to be as critical as body armor for officers. Hundreds of studies have shown that nonverbal behavior makes up more than 2/3 of communication between people. Law enforcement deals in human behavior more than any other element, but the training has been missing. The course is specifically designed to address critical problems in today’s law enforcement when it comes to training on violence prediction and threat recognition. Violence Prediction and Control addresses these key issues with the aim of saving lives, building community trust, and enhancing compliance on patrol. The course is divided into five key areas: nonverbal behavior analysis, deception detection, violent behavior recognition (VBR), de-escalation skills, and compliance enhancement.
