Call for Papers: Journal of Threat Assessment and Management

Journal of Threat Assessment and Management is a scholarly journal publishing peer-reviewed papers representing the science and practice of risk for violence and fear-inducing behavior. Journal of Threat Assessment and Management is a forum for scholarly dialogue regarding the most important emerging issues in the field. The first issue of the journal will appear in Spring 2013.

The Journal of Threat Assessment and Management will be an international periodical for professionals and scholars whose work focuses on operational aspects of threat assessment and management.

The journal will be unique in three ways.

First, it will be devoted exclusively to the subject of violence risk.

Second, it will be applied in nature, dealing with the development, implementation, and evaluation of procedures for assessing and managing violence risk.

Third, it will both reflect and promote the values of interdisciplinarity and internationalism, based on the view that preventing violence requires collaborations that cross professional and, in many cases, geopolitical boundaries.

Being published by APA connects Journal of Threat Assessment and Management to a large body of authoritative and high-quality research available through PsycARTICLES®, the most used full-text database in psychology and one of the most popular databases in all scholarly disciplines and fields. PsycARTICLES is available to a global audience of nearly 3,200 institutions and 60 million potential users.
