Dr. S. Lee Funk
Understanding Rampage Violence Before It Strikes
Author, Speaker, and Expert on the Psychology Behind Modern Violence
About Dr. Funk
‘These aren’t senseless acts. They are rehearsed, performative, and tragically predictable.’
“For over 30 years, I’ve worked with people on society’s margins—adjudicated youth, students with emotional challenges, and individuals grappling with behavioral crises. My work led me to study the psychological origins of violence and what drives a person to commit unprovoked, devastating attacks on strangers.
My mission is to help professionals, policymakers, and the public understand the patterned mentality behind these tragedies—and how we can recognize and prevent them.”
