Description of Contents
Incidents of dramatic and shocking violence have left teachers and students shaken, and nervous about the potential for violence at their school. Some threats and shooters at schools have led to the inevitable conclusion that serious violence could erupt anywhere, at any time. These concerns lead to an increasing focus on preventing school violence. The message which is given in this paper is that we have the ability to develop various school-based programs which significantly reduce the threat of serious violence and disruption. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current state of knowledge about school violence prevention.
