The take-aways from this session will focus on brief activities or exercise that can be used to make people safer without creating unrealistic levels of fear.
“While there is a deadly trend to put all of our eggs in one basket by either relying on technology or conversely on behavioral approaches, my address at the Campus Safety Conference will provide a holistic and comprehensive examination of how we can spot and react to danger using today’s security technologies in concert with the latest research on the awesome power of the human brain,” says Dorn.
