Mark Follman

inside the mission to stop mass shootings in America

"It's time to go beyond all the thoughts and prayers, misguided blame on mental illness, and dug-in disputes over the Second Amendment. Through meticulous reporting and panoramic storytelling, award-winning journalist Mark Follman chronicles the decades-long search for identifiable profiles of mass shooters and brings readers inside a groundbreaking method for preventing devastating attacks. The emerging field of behavioral threat assessment, with its synergy of mental health and law enforcement expertise, focuses on circumstances and behaviors leading up to planned acts of violence--warning signs that offer a chance for constructive intervention before it's too late." -- ContainerJournalist Mark Follman examines never-before-told accounts from perpetrators and mass shooting survivors in order to offer hope and a way forward at a time when the costs of gun violence have never been higher
