ABSTRACT

In Chapter 1, we described three insider cases approached from three different roles—a therapist treating an employee facing a mandatory referral due to a workplace violation, a psychological consultant supporting a corporate investigation involving violence risk and hacking, and an expert witness for the Department of Justice in a complicated case related to the 2001 anthrax attacks. We described how the lessons learned from each of these cases contributed directly to the construction of the Critical Pathway to Insider Risk (CPIR) framework and led to empirical testing across a larger data set of insider cases.
