Abstract: Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide techniques that may provide the capability to autonomously and automatically identify cases of suspected abuse, which may then be subject to follow up review and action. For example, in an embodiment, a system for identifying potential physical abuse in a location may comprise at least one video camera provided at the location and a computer system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the computer system to perform: receiving video data from the at least one video camera, identifying potential physical abuse from the video data, the identification being to within a predetermined confidence level, and transmitting information indicating that a potential human threat has been identified.
