Assessing Threatening Behavior

Assessing threatening behavior involves evaluating actions, words, and body language to determine if someone may pose a danger to themselves or others. Professionals look for signs like aggressive gestures, hostile language, or threatening statements that suggest a potential for violence or harm. This process helps identify risk levels so appropriate safety measures can be taken. It's a careful, objective assessment aimed at preventing harm while respecting individual rights, often involving trained experts such as mental health professionals or security personnel.
