The Behavioral Threat Assessment (BeTA) Unit has compiled resource guides to support Law Enforcement Agencies across North Carolina that might be new to behavioral threat assessments, and would like to have a better understanding of their role in preventing targeted violence. In the guide below, you will find literature from nationwide leading experts in behavioral threat assessments, landmark studies and publications that have shaped the world of behavioral threat assessment and some additional resources to explore.

While this guide is certainly not all-encompassing, we hope it serves as a strong sounding board for educating you, your agency, your administrators and policy makers on the importance of behavioral threat
assessment.
