He came to national prominence in 1982 during his five days of testimony as the prosecution’s expert witness in the trial of John Hinckley, Jr., for his attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981. Then an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dietz testified that at the time of the shooting, Hinckley knew what he was doing, knew it was wrong, and had the capacity to control his behavior thus was not legally insane. Dietz is also a criminologist, and in 1987 he created the specialty of workplace violence prevention in founding Threat Assessment Group, Inc. (TAG), which specializes in analyzing and managing threatening behavior and communications, stalking, risks arising from domestic violence, and other abnormal activity in corporations, colleges, and schools. As of 2013, more than 20,000 senior corporate managers have attended TAG training seminars.〔(About TAG Inc, the Threat Assessment Group | Threat Assessment Group )〕 A separate company, Park Dietz & Associates (PD&A), is a forensic consulting firm specializing in criminal behavior analysis, forensic psychiatry, forensic psychology and other forensic sciences, serving prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys representing defendants and plaintiffs in civil litigation.〔(Psychiatrist testifies Montgomery sane | CJOnline.com )〕 PD&A’s national roster of experts includes physicians, psychologists, and retired FBI agents with wide expertise on the forensic aspects of fields as diverse as neurology, social work and pathology.〔(Our Experts | Park Dietz Associates )〕 Both TAG and PD&A are headquartered in Southern California with PD&A having a second office in Washington, D.C.〔(Contact TAG | Threat Assessment Group )〕〔(Contact | Park Dietz Associates )〕 == Early Life and Education == Dietz was born in 1948 and raised in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Harrisburg.

He was a member of Cornell’s Theta Delta Chi fraternity. In 1970 he graduated with an A.B. cum laude in Psychology, and was a Phi Beta Kappa.〔〔http://dos.cornell.edu/cms/greek/upload/OFSA-AR07-final-sm.pdf〕 In 1970, Dietz received a senatorial scholarship to study at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, transferring in 1972 to Johns Hopkins University. There, he was among a handful of students in the M.D.-Ph.D. Program in Behavioral Sciences funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the Grant Foundation of New York.〔[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1142575 Medicine and the behavioral sciences: th... [Johns Hopkins Med J. 1975] - PubMed - NCBI]〕 From 1972-1975, while completing medical school and course requirements for a Ph.D. in Social Relations, Dietz also earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree.〔 Dietz worked with the school’s noted public health professor Susan Baker on a study of drowning cases and their prevention and epidemiology, using the Haddon Matrix paradigm to categorize specific prevention measures for specific injuries. In 2012, Baker wrote that Dietz, “later applied the Matrix to the problem of rape, showing its value in formulating approaches to intentional injury…and the Haddon Matrix probably played a role in his development of an entire industry addressed to workplace violence prevention.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Park Dietz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
