Current worldwide trends are pointing to an increase in juveniles and young adults committing acts of targeted or mass violence. Developing new programs and methodologies and models to identify and intervene with juveniles “at risk” of engaging in violent extremism, terrorism, or organized criminal groups before it is too late is key to keeping communities safer. Law enforcement agencies from around the globe are partnering with vital community agencies and spearheading intervention models. This panel will explore successful intervention programs and explore potential paths of how these models and best practices can be scaled and delivered to law enforcement and their community partners.
