Violence Isn’t Random: The Pathway to Prevention | Robert Mahoney
Description
Robert Mahoney is a leading expert in behavioral threat assessment and the founder of TVTP Solutions. He helps communities move from reacting to violence after it happens to preventing it before it ever begins.
His work brings together educators, law enforcement, and mental health professionals to identify what he calls the pathway to violence — and how to interrupt it using practical, evidence-based strategies.
In this important conversation, Robert shares:
• Why violence is rarely random or unpredictable
• The long runway of concerning behaviors often missed
• How identity, community, and purpose play a role
• Why focusing only on protection isn’t enough
• Practical ways everyday people can help prevent harm
• A more effective approach to intervening early
If you’ve ever wondered whether warning signs exist before tragedy strikes — and how ordinary people can help keep schools, workplaces, and communities safer — this conversation matters.
