In this episode of The Antifragility Reframe, Dr. Frank Douglas speaks with Robert Mahoney, Founder and CEO of the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Organization, about a different way to understand and prevent targeted violence.
Robert explains why what is often described as a “random act of violence” may involve warning signs that were visible within a community. He discusses the pathway of violence, the importance of recognizing behavioral indicators, and why prevention requires coordination among schools, municipalities, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and other community stakeholders.
The conversation also explores how identity, purpose, and community can influence an individual's path—and how offering healthier alternatives can create a landing pad away from destructive behavior.
