Introduction to Mass Violence and Terrorism Victimization

Incidents of mass violence are human-caused tragedies that can impact whole communities and the country at large. These types of disasters, which include shootings and acts of terrorism, often occur without warning, and can happen anywhere, as shown by the events of September 11, 2001, the tragic shooting in a high school in Parkland, Florida, and the more recent shooting incident In Uvalde Texas. This presentation will provide an overview of established factors in mass violence and terrorism incidents as learned from past incidents, including the role of victim service providers, emergency responders, the media, and the community.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
• Identify the established factors in incidents of mass violence and terrorism.
• Distinguish the different roles and challenges for responders, the media, and the community.
• Recognize the value of a comprehensive and collaborative victim response plan.

This training opportunity is offered by the Office of Justice Programs with support from the Office of Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center.
