ANALYSIS

With effective policies, procedures and other preventative measures in place - and persons acting responsibly on recognizing early warning signs of violence - many tragedies can be avoided.    Persons should be aware they are accountable for their actions whether trying to hide behind the anonymity of a computer or face-to-face intimidation.
