In this module you have experienced how alarming behaviour by two individuals from two very different backgrounds can escalate and culminate in an attack or membership of a violent group or network. These are just two examples. In the three practice-oriented modules we dealt with cases of students displaying alarming behaviour in the form of politically-motivated violence, a suicide threat and aggression caused by a psychological disorder.
Fortunately, these are exceptions. By being aware of the signs and knowing how to deal with them, you, as a staff member at a higher education institution, can help us prevent alarming behaviour culminating in an act of violence. To test how much you already know about alarming behaviour, we challenge you to complete the quiz below. Good luck!
