Abstract

The project’s third year is underway and continues to work toward a comprehensive assessment of the threat landscape between 2013 and the present. The project focuses on federal charges that involve communicated threats against public officials working in the following sectors: education, elected office and elections, health care, and law enforcement/ military. In addition to conducting trend analyses, the research team has combed through tens of thousands of court documents to identify characteristics related to the incident, perpetrators, and victims.
