A device receives image data that depicts an individual, identifies the individual by using a target recognition technique to analyze the image data, and identifies human attributes of the individual. The device determines a risk level that represents a likelihood of the individual being or becoming involved in a harmful act. The risk level may be determined by using the human attributes as part of a machine-learning-driven emotional analysis of the individual. The device provides a message, selected based on whether the risk level satisfies at least one of the one or more threshold risk levels, to another device, to cause the other device to perform actions that are indicative of the risk level being associated with a low amount of risk, or other actions indicative of the risk level being associated with a high amount of risk and that are associated with assisting in prevention of the harmful act.
