Rage of the Random Actor
Disarming Catastrophic Acts and Restoring Lives
DAN KOREM

Dan Korem’s Track Record

PREDICTIONS & SAVING LIVES
Dan Korem's RANDOM ACTOR (RA) CASES & RESEARCH

The following is a brief summation of Dan Korem's research and how it has been applied to save lives.

     SUICIDE ATTACKERS
Identified that most suicide attackers have the Random Actor (RA) profile
(mid-1990s)
They have same profile as mass school shooters, serial "snipers," postal shooters, etc.


Random Actor profile/intervention strategies used in Iraq to capture suicidal-led insurgents
(2004)
Captain Pedro Rosario’s cadre made 54 arrests of insurgents over 4 months without firing a shot. Saved lives of Iraqis, troops, and even insurgents who wanted to kill and be killed.


Only region in the U.S. that didn’t have school bomb threats after 9-11 applied RA interventions
(2001)
No bombing/shooting threats in schools in a region of a state where educators applied interventions Korem identified.


Obtained only filmed confession of a suicidal, cult-like leader
(1983)
3 years after Jonestown Massacre, Korem exposed cult-like leader in his documentary Psychic Confession who “confessed” on camera how and why he formed cult and techniques.
              Los Angeles Times: “It’s an altogether fascinating study that transcends the
              somewhat exploitive subject matter.”


ORGANIZATIONS

Identified where Random Actor incidents will and will not occur and why
(mid-1990s)
Why shootings at Post Office but not UPS or FedEx, even though in same business

Why mass company shooters are from accounting or assembly line but not art department

How to replicate prevention success in any organization

Why “fragging” by U.S. soldier Mark Kools at beginning of Iraq war was a RA incident
(2004)
RA intervention used in Iraq to prevent other incidents by US troops


SCHOOLS & YOUTH

Predicted mass school shootings/bombings before Columbine using RA profile
(mid-1990s)
Predicted (at national educator conference) Denver suburbs as high risk target 2 months       before the attack.


Predicted students with RA profile would carry out mass school attacks
(mid-1990s)
Every mass school shooting/bombing since 1997 (in North America, Europe, and Japan)has been perpetrated by RA student; no exceptions.


Virtually 100% predictive accuracy where school bombings/shootings will and won't occur
Identified that alternative schools that have at-risk students won’t have students threatening to destroy their schools. Also identified another school population that doesn’t have threats.

Predicted suburbs and small towns as most likely targets for RA attacks
(mid-1990s)
Every mass school shooting/bombing since 1997 (in N. America, Europe, and Japan) has occurred in a suburb or small town; no exceptions.

Predicted inner-city communities won’t have these attacks and why (there have been none)


Predicted gangs in suburbs and small towns for first time in world history
(mid-1980s)
First to identify trend and why

Author of critically acclaimed book, Suburban Gangs—The Affluent Rebels (1994)


Identified Missing Protector Strategy that stops gang recruitment/formation
(late 1980s)
If 100 at-risk youth have a “Protector,” only 5% demonstrate any at-risk behavior in a year. Works in any community; examples (more on www.ifpinc.com)

     — Plano, TX (suburb known for suicide and other high risk behavior—over 1000 youths)

     —
 Dallas, TX (inner-city community—over 400 youth over 6 years)

BEHAVIORAL PROFILING

Developed first comprehensive on-the-spot profiling system
(early 1990s)
Korem Profiling System: make four quick reads and you can identify someone’s profile (how they are likely to communicate, perform tasks, make decisions)

Korem Profiling System published in The Art of Profiling—Reading People Right the       First Time (1997)


Korem & Associates faculty trained more professionals than any other organization in the world on-the-spot profiling
Over 25,000 professionals trained—book and training lauded by world’s leading experts:

        “A rare find. . . . The Korem Profiling System will separate you from the masses when it comes to reading people right the first time. . . . Dan has lectured on profiling at the FBI Academy to the toughest audience possible, an assembly of the best police psychologists in the country. . . .Without exception, its acceptance was immediate and its application proven.”
                Dr. James T. Reese, former assistant unit chief, FBI’s Behavioral Sciences Unit

                                                                 From the Foreword in The Art of Profiling

                  “My name is Colonel Peter Devlin, a Canadian Infantry Officer who commands the 2nd Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group and commanded the Kabul Multi-National Brigade in Kabul, Afghanistan from July 2003 to January 2004. . . . There were 22 different nations that provided troops to the brigade and I interacted with their national and tactical commanders on a regular basis. I also dealt with Afghan authorities daily, including government officials (federal, provincial, and municipal), military leadership, elders, religious leaders, nomads and more. The Art of Profiling assisted in preparing strategies for the many people I interacted with every day. The job of a leader is to influence people for mission success and Dan Korem’s book assisted me in successfully accomplishing my mission.”
                                                                                   Lt. Brig. General Peter Devlin

       —   “The training was an excellent educational experience, with ACTUAL, practical applications.”
                                                          P.D., Director of Security, NASA Space Center
 

Professionals from the following organizations who have been trained for sales, negotiations, recruiting and hiring, educating students, consulting:

       American Airlines
· BBC · British Airways · Cedar-Sinai Medical · Chrysler · Ernst and Young · Exxon · FBI · Farmers Insurance · IBM  · Lockheed Martin · Marriott  · MBNA · McDonalds ·  Mercedes Benz · NASA Space Center · Nations Bank · University of Chicago · US Air Force ·  United Space Alliance World Bank

Developed first method for validating on-the-spot behavioral profiling skills
Average person when tested only demonstrates 25% on-the-spot profiling accuracy when shown video clips of real people in real situations. In a day or two of training, profiling accuracy increases to 75% or higher.
