KEYNOTE ADDRESS–Preventing Violence in Our Lives: The Gift of Fear Gavin de Becker (appearing via live video) Bestselling Author The man Oprah Winfrey calls the Nation’s Leading Expert on violence Gavin de Becker is widely regarded as our Nation’s leading expert on the prediction and management of violence.

His books are now published in 15 languages, and have been cited in more than a hundred other books, as well as profiled in TIME and Newsweek, featured on Larry King Live, Oprah Winfrey, and 60 MINUTES, among many others.

The firm developed the threat assessment systems used to screen threats to Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as members of Congress, and designed systems for the U.S. Marshals Service, the Central Intelligence Agency, and many others.

Last year, Oprah Winfrey dedicated an hour-long show to commemorate the 10-Year Anniversary of the The Gift of Fear – and this year, Ms Winfrey dedicated two shows to Gavin’s teachings about reducing domestic violence and spousal homicide.

While it is important to carefully review the circumstances surrounding these horrifying incidents so that we may learn from them, we must also be cautious about inappropriately creating a cloud of fear over every student in every classroom across the country. In the case of youth violence, it is important to note that, statistically speaking, schools are among the safest places for children to be.” Final Report, Bi-Partisan Working Group on Youth Violence. 106th Congress, February, 2000 I. Introduction In July, 1998, the Justice Policy Institute (JPI) sought to inject some context into the debate around school violence inspired by the tragic shootings that occurred in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and a number of other communities.

    PALAIS DES NATIONS • 1211 GENEVA 10, SWITZERLAND Mandates of the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression REFERENCE: AL SAU 2/2020 17 January 2020 Excellency, We have the honour to address you in our capacities as Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolutions 35/15 and 34/18. In this connection, We would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government credible information we have received indicating that Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has been personally involved in the hacking of the cell phone of Jeffrey Bezos, owner of The Washington Post and the Chief Executive Officer of Amazon.com, Inc. The information is based in part on a comprehensive expert forensic analysis of Mr. Bezos’ cell phone made available to us. The Crown Prince and Mr. Bezos exchanged phone numbers on 4 April 2018. The digital forensic analysis strongly suggests that Mr. Bezos’ phone was infiltrated on 1 May 2018 through a video file transmitted to Mr. Bezos via a WhatsApp account utilized personally by the Crown Prince (the same number exchanged on 4 April). The video was encrypted, and the file was slightly larger than the video itself. According to the information we have reviewed, within hours of receipt of the video file, a massive and unauthorized exfiltration of data from Mr.

    The Scholar Texas National Security Review: Volume 3, Issue 4 (Fall 2020) Print: ISSN 2576-1021 Online: ISSN 2576-1153 The Simulation of Scandal: Hack-and-Leak Operations, the Gulf States, and U.S. Politics James Shires The Simulation of Scandal: Hack-and-Leak Operations, the Gulf States, and U.S. Politics Four hack-and-leak operations in U.S. politics between 2016 and 2019, publicly attributed to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, should be seen as the “simulation of scandal” – deliberate attempts to direct moral judgment against their target. Although “hacking” tools enable easy access to secret information, they are a double-edged sword, as their discovery means the scandal becomes about the hack itself, not about the hacked information. There are wider consequences for cyber competition in situations of constraint where both sides are strategic partners, as in the case of the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf. ack-and-leak operations (HLO) are a sial candidates, a combative and polarized media new frontier in digital forms of foreign environment, and entrenched economic and social interference, epitomized by the suc- divisions were all key factors in the 2016 election cess of Russian intelligence agencies result.
