Targeted Violence Affecting Institutions of Higher Education

http://www.secretservice.gov/ntac.shtml

The June 2007 Report to the President on Issues Raised by the Virginia Tech Tragedy included a recommendation that the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Bureau of Investigation explore the issue of violence at institutions of higher education. This collaborative effort examines the scope of the problem of targeted violence at U.S. institutions.

In total, 272 incidents were identified through a comprehensive search of more than 115,000 results in open-source reporting from 1900 to 2008. The incidents studied include various forms of targeted violence, ranging from domestic violence to mass murder. The findings should be useful for campus safety professionals charged with identifying, assessing and managing violent risk at institutions of higher education.
