The feasibility and utility of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) : a review and recommendations
Journal Article
Allely, C., & Wicks, S. (in press). The feasibility and utility of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) : a review and recommendations. Journal of Threat Assessment and Management,

The ability to accurately predict the risk of an individual committing an act of targeted violence is likely to be impossible given the low base rate of these acts (Goodwill & Meloy, 2019). Nevertheless, prevention is possible if there is a focus on...
