Dr. Peter Langman, author of Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School
Shooters, is a sought-after expert who provides trainings in identifying and
assessing potential school shooters and preventing rampage attacks. His
trainings are highly valuable for professionals in education, mental health,
and law enforcement.
Dr. Langman serves on Pennsylvania’s Joint State Government Commission’s
Advisory Committee on Violence Prevention. After the Sandy Hook attack,
his recommendations on preventing school shootings were presented by the
ceo of the American Psychological Association to President Obama.
A psychologist who has helped children and adolescents for twenty-five years,
Dr. Langman combines professional experience with evaluating at-risk youth
with his extensive research on shooters at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and
elsewhere. Dr. Langman has earned international recognition for his powerful
analysis in Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters, which was
named a 2009 Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association,
and described as “a vital, phenomenal, extremely valuable work.”
His research has been cited in Congressional hearings on Capitol Hill and
featured in articles carried by The New York Times, The Washington Post,
The Los Angeles Times, Forbes, USA Today, Education Week, Junior Scholastic,
msnbc, Yahoo News, and thousands of other news outlets. Dr. Langman has
been interviewed over 150 times by journalists in the U.S., Canada, Europe,
Australia, and the Middle East, and he has appeared on CBS, CNN, Fox, and
the BBC. His book has been translated into German, Dutch, and Finnish.
Dr. Langman maintains the website
www.schoolshooters.info. This is the
largest online collection of materials relating to school shooters, and is
viewed by thousands of people each year.
“He was amazing. The time flew and I learned so much about the minds of
school shooters.”
“I was impressed by his knowledge [and] ability to answer all questions, and
the fact that he used nothing but a piece of paper as a guide blew my mind.”
“Excellent presenter! Very informative, interesting, and surprising all at
the same time! I would love to invite him to my school district for a
presentation!”
