De-escalation Training for On Running at Bicester Village

17.08.2025

This morning I was booked to teach the first of a two-part seminar on social violence for the On Running store at Bicester Village.

We looked at the definition of violence and what differentiates social violence from predatory violence. Then we looked at the anatomy of social violence, how it is triggered and what happens when an individual escalates to a violent response. Next, we moved onto awareness of an environment where social violence might occur. This was followed by behavioural signs, which we covered in the blink drill, an exercise for fast gathering of visible information on an individual.
