By finding patterns in stories of violence and abuse, de Becker seeks to highlight the inherent predictability of violence. The book explores various settings where violence may be found—the workplace, the home, the school, dating—and describes what de Becker calls pre-incident indicators (PINS). By noticing PINS (events and behaviors that often precede violence), individuals can better predict violence before it occurs, and therefore, take the necessary precautions and actions to stay safe. "The Gift of Fear" also describes de Becker’s MOSAIC Threat Assessment
