ABSTRACT
Once a subject is proceeding down the pathway, we identified several accelerators that appear to push them faster. We described disgruntlement and the accompanying moral emotions, as well as several sets of personality traits, like narcissism, that appear to accelerate the process. Unfortunately, problematic organizational responses also play a role in many insider events, moving subjects directly into crime scripts. Finally, I have reviewed profiles for, and interviewed, many subjects with devastating personal histories, loads of personal and professional stressors, acute financial problems, several types of concerning behaviors and even an adolescent history of anti-social behavior, who have very high CPIR scores but have yet to commit insider acts. But they also had mitigators such as high levels of self-care manifested in participating in therapy, social support in the form of strong family bonds, personal resources, often strong spiritual involvement, and enlightened management, in the form of supportive but tough supervisors who communicated, supplied resources, but also set limits.
