[CONCURRENCE — Justice STEVENS,]
Justice STEVENS,
concurring.
I join this Court’s per curiam affir-mance. Nevertheless, I wish to emphasize my view that the communication of threats made by a probationer to an intended victim is not a requirement to find the probationer engaged in “assaultive behavior” in violation of the general condition for special probation or parole set forth in 87 Pa.Code § 65.4(5)(iii).
