Description

This guide presents strategies and approaches for members of school communities to consider when creating safer learning environments. Violence prevention programs work best when they incorporate multiple strategies and address the full range of possible acts of violence in schools. Most of the interventions presented here have the potential to yield benefits beyond just reducing hazards associated with school shootings; lowering rates of delinquency, disruptive behaviors, harassment, bullying, suicide, etc.; increasing the likelihood troubled youth will be identified and receive treatment; improving the learning environment; preparing communities for responding to all human-made and natural disasters. Chapters: prevention; threat assessment; crisis planning and preparation; during a major crisis; after a crisis; legal considerations; working with the media; resources. This is a print on demand report.
