Publication and Research Highlights: Threatening Communications and Behavior: Perspectives on the Pursuit of Public Figures

The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences of the National Research Council asked several experts to consider three specific aspects of threatening communications and subsequent action: computerized language techniques, communication theory, and forensic psychology. While the theme of this paper collection is threatening and unusual communications to public figures, the research is likely relevant to a wide range of communications, including those by leaders of hostile nations and terrorist groups.
