Violence Isn’t Random—Here’s Why
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Robert Mahoney
We’re told more security will keep us safe. Robert Mahoney says that’s not the real problem. In this episode, the founder of TVTP Solutions explains how violence actually develops—through behavioral patterns, identity crises, and breakdowns in community. He lays out why current approaches miss the mark, and why early intervention and coordinated action are critical to stopping extremism before it starts.
