NDL – Addressing the know-do gap in community reporting for terrorism and targeted violence prevention

NDL – Addressing the know-do gap in community reporting for terrorism and targeted violence prevention

Professor Michele Grossman has been awarded an international research grant as part of a research team led by University of California-Los Angeles funded by the US Department of Homeland Security’s recent call for proposals on Terrorism and Targeted Violence Research and Evaluation (Priority 2, Research on the Implementation of Evidence-Based and Best Practices in Terrorism Prevention and Intervention Research).

Project Description

This project seeks to investigate features of intimate bystander community reporting programs across a range of national settings to improve the implementation of programs, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, that can effectively support early detection of and intervention for individuals planning terrorism and targeted violence. The knowledge generated by the proposed research will assist in the design and implementation of intimate bystander community reporting systems in diverse national and local contexts, and will augment a circular economy of knowledge building, integration, and sharing across the Five Eyes countries on intimate bystander reporting.
