Best BITs: Topics in Campus Behavioral Intervention & Violence Prevention

Today’s campus Behavioral Intervention Teams have a critical, but often difficult, duty to fulfill. College and university leaders, members of their campus communities, and the general public increasingly recognize the importance of early identification and intervention when it comes to addressing behavior of concern on campus to prevent an escalation towards violence. BITs are constantly challenged to more effectively encourage reporting of such behavior, objectively assess threat and violence risk, and implement measures to ensure the safety of their campus populations while also providing support to and balancing the rights of students in crisis. NaBITA has long published best practices, tips, and expert insights for its members. Best BITs: Topics in Campus Behavioral Intervention & Violence Prevention, is a compilation of that content, updated and organized by topical areas so that campus practitioners who serve on a BIT can access the information they need, when they need it.

Covering everything from BIT composition and functions to working with special populations, this is the perfect companion to The Book on BIT (2014) and The Assessment of Behavioral Intervention Teams: Core-Q10 (2015).
