Targeted violence can be prevented – if we have the right systems in place. That’s why Sarah Goodrum, research professor in the Prevention Science Program, has partnered with the CU Boulder Police Department. According to Goodrum, attackers exhibit observable planning behaviors and communicate their intentions prior to committing acts of violence. To address this, Goodrum has collaborated with CU Boulder Police to enhance early identification and intervention strategies for preventing targeted violence. These efforts strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and researchers, promoting a holistic approach to campus and community safety, and providing a model for other institutions to adopt.
