Americans are bombarded with headlines about targeted violence, including terrorism, premeditated hate crimes, and grievance-based school and workplace violence. Some may feel resigned to accept that this kind of violence is inevitable, but we know that targeted violence is often preventable. The DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) is working to create a culture of targeted violence prevention. In this video, Director William Braniff describes CP3's public health-informed approach to targeted violence prevention and highlights points from the center's publication "CP3's Approach to Prevention."
