| Abstract Threats, hoaxes and other inappropriate communications should be treated as signs of evidence, which have to be interpreted within the given social, cultural and individual context. Specific contexts are: work conflicts, domestic violence, problems of immigrants, threats and stalking of politicians etc. The semiotic model of communication consists of the perpetrator, his message(s), the receiver, the designated victim and potential copycats. When assessing the situation, one needs to explore the personality of the perpetrator (if known) as well as the messages that he sends with standardized catalogues of criteria, as well as the victim's behavior. Keywords: dangerousness - threat - semiotics - perpetrator - victim - assessment.   |
