Abstract:

Preventing targeted violence requires analytic frameworks that translate early behavioral warning signs into actionable intelligence workflows. While threat assessment research has identified recurring pre-attack indicators and warning behaviors, digital environments have expanded the observable space in which grievance narratives, identity reinforcement, and behavioral leakage emerge. This article proposes an operational intelligence architecture that integrates cyberpsychological indicators into intelligence-led policing and structured threat assessment processes. The framework emphasizes triage, signal interpretation, escalation thresholds, and governance safeguards to support early intervention while protecting civil liberties. The article synthesizes interdisciplinary scholarship to define a practical SOCMINT-enabled detection model that can be adapted across law enforcement and public safety contexts. Implications are presented for training, analytic tradecraft, interagency coordination, and prevention-oriented policy design.
