Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is designed to help train organizations and future professionals to proactively reduce the risk of targeted gun violence in private settings and at public events.
MoreLong description:
The wave of targeted gun violence in America has made it clear that organizations and communities must be prepared to deal with it, whether at workplaces, schools, hospitals, houses of worship, entertainment venues, or other open spaces. This book helps organizations develop practices and policies to identify, understand, manage, and prevent dangerous persons from committing acts of extreme violence.
Starting from past legislative policies and legal decisions involving gun control, Reducing the Risk of Targeted Gun Violence: Proactive Organization Policies and Practices to Address Emerging Threats identifies the progressive steps an individual takes toward gun violence, and explains how organizations can impede that progress. Readers will learn how to detect motivating grievances, understand progressively dangerous behaviors, set up road blocks by limiting vulnerabilities and access, and de-escalate pre-incident indicators and crisis situations. This book also provides a blueprint on how to create internal Multidisciplinary Violence Prevention teams to monitor and redirect potential threats.
This book is constructed to serve as a reference for workplace, school, government, and criminal justice professionals faced with issues relating to interpersonal violence, terrorism, and threats of criminal attacks. It is also designed for instructor use in undergraduate or graduate Criminal Justice, Criminology, Political Science, Forensic Psychology, Sociology, Homeland Security, and Risk Management courses.
