The "Assault Cycle" has 5 phases: triggering event, escalation, post crisis depression. True or False

Answer

The correct answer is False. The standard Assault Cycle typically consists of five distinct phases: 1) Triggering, 2) Escalation, 3) Crisis, 4) Recovery, and 5) Post-Crisis Depression. The statement in the question leaves out the 'Crisis' and 'Recovery' phases, making the statement incomplete and therefore false.
