A Philosophy of Prevention
Violence prevention is often misunderstood
Violence prevention is frequently framed as prediction — an attempt to foresee rare events with certainty. In reality, effective prevention depends on structured assessment, informed judgment, and collaborative management.
Dr. Leite’s work is grounded in structured professional judgment models. These models recognize that risk is dynamic, contextual, and influenced by multiple interacting factors. The goal is not to label individuals. The goal is to understand behavior patterns and intervene thoughtfully.
Her approach rests on several guiding principles:
- Prevention is proactive, not reactive.
- Assessment must be evidence-based.
- Response must be proportional.
- Dignity matters.
By combining psychological science with practical application, organizations can reduce risk while maintaining fairness and integrity.
This page helps differentiate her work from both therapy and purely security-based approaches. It clarifies that her role is analytical, consultative, and preventive.
