“We know from the research that most perpetrators of school violence don’t emerge from the ether with surprise attacks that no one saw coming. Instead, it is quite the opposite. They give clues. They cause concern amongst friends, colleagues and even online acquaintances. They make people uncomfortable. These clues, signs and concerns are the best chance to head off violence before it occurs.” (Sokolow & Lewis, 2009)
