TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - The feasibility and utility of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18): a review and recommendations JO - Journal of threat assessment and management A1 - Allely, Clare S. A1 - Wicks, Sammie J. SP - 218 EP - 259 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - 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 fact-based behaviors, and threat management is in place. The Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18; Meloy, Habermeyer & Guldimann, 2015; Meloy, Roshdi, et al., 2015; Meloy & Gill, 2016; Meloy, 2017) is a collection of 18 behavior-based warning signs for terror incidents. There are eight proximal characteristics and 10 distal characteristics. The aim of this review was to identify studies which have utilized the TRAP-18 either prospectively (operational use) or retroactively or studies which have investigated the validity and reliability of the TRAP-18. A total of 17 relevant articles were identified in the review including six case studies and 11 empirical articles. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
