The article discusses the challenges in measuring foiled attacks and highlights the significant role of leakage in preventing violence, especially among younger offenders. Research indicates that communication of violent intent often precedes acts of violence, empowering campus security and law enforcement to intervene. A study by Silva and Greene-Colozzi emphasizes that offenders under 18 who leak their plans are more easily thwarted, leading to increased preventative measures within educational settings to protect students from potential threats.
"Although foiled attacks are hard to measure, certain types of offenders, particularly those under 18, are more likely to be thwarted when they leak their violent intentions."
"Leakage is the communication of violent intent that can precede an act of violence, prompting interventions from security and law enforcement to prevent tragedies."
