Gain knowledge for assessing an individual’s potential for violence, with a focus on using multi-disciplinary collaborative practices. A particular emphasis will be placed on prevention strategies and intervention techniques. Various psycho-social and developmental factors that contribute to aggression will be examined, along with an in-depth exploration of individual pathology and family, school, and social dynamics. This course will assist individuals in addressing violence along the continuum from high-end violence, including school shootings, to bullying behaviours, while emphasizing the importance of building policies and practices that create safe school cultures.
