THC 67: Sofia Smallstorm | A Deeper Look At Sandy Hook

The shift from "mental health" to "behavioral health" is identified as a strategy for increased public surveillance and "pre-crime" intervention. Smallstorm points to a violence prevention unit in Palm Beach County, Florida, as an example of this new paradigm. She argues that the Adam Lanza story was created to justify flooding schools with behavioral officers and encouraging neighbors to report on one another.
