Details: Join Gary M. Shiffman, PhD., #NatSecGirlSquad Board Member and Founder of Giant Oak, online on Thursday, March 26th at 3PM EST for a compelling discussion on human behavior in the face of scarcity and survival. In his new book, The Economics of Violence: How Behavioral Science Can Transform our View of Crime, Insurgency, and Terrorism," Dr. Shiffman helps national security professionals more effectively understand and combat violence.

The rise of criminal leaders such as Osama bin Laden, Joseph Kony, and Pablo Escobar can be understood through the lens of economics. These same concepts are currently applicable when anticipating human responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Shiffman will explore the differences between scarcity and expected scarcity, and expected responses to the current global pandemic
