Product Description
Despite well-publicized reports of decreased incidents of violence, the United States remains a leader in rates of homicide, handgun ownership, and school violence. Based on research conducted in high schools and a prison, At Zero Tolerance examines how the United States has responded to violence in its schools and in its streets. In addition to its critique of "get tough" policies initiated in the 1990s, this book offers a means of violence prevention that addresses issues of school restructuring, handgun policy, vocational education, and popular culture.

Product Description
Over the last several years, our nation has faced the sobering reality that all too often our school-age children have been victims-—and perpetrators—of once-unthinkable acts of violence.In 1999 the Center for Civic Education (CCE) initiated the School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program (SVPDP) as an alternative approach for reducing the level of students’ antisocial and violent behavior in schools.This program implements curricular approaches to violence prevention that draw upon effective instructional practices and materials in civic education.The national implementation of SVPDP by the CCE during 1999-2000 on a pilot basis in seven sites is premised on the belief that civic education for democracy can form the foundation for school-based violence prevention.

The purpose of this report is to document and assess the first-year SVPDP implementation process.The first chapter provides a brief look at current violence prevention and civic education efforts in American schools.Chapter 2 outlines the 1999-2000 SVPDP research strategy and design, the program’s first-year implementation plan, and the challenges of balancing SVPDP’s implementation and research objectives.Chapter 3 provides brief profiles of the seven first-year SVPDP pilot districts, highlighting characteristics shaping the program’s implementation in each district.Chapters 4 through 8 assess in detail the seven pilot sites’ first-year implementation of the SVPDP, identifying and examining the influence of the following factors:SVPDP site coordinators and evaluators; SVPDP teachers and training workshops; SVPDP curricular materials and culminating activities; the physical, instructional, and policy environments of SVPDP classrooms and schools; and school district, !parental, and community involvement.Chapter 9 concludes by affirming the critical importance of curricula-based civic education programs such as SVPDP and recommends key action steps to support the sustainable and long-term use of civic education curricular materials for school violence prevention. ...

From the author: Violence has reached epidemic proportions in the United States with particularly serious health implications for school-age children and adolescents. Schools that experience the daily threat of potential student violence have their primary mission of education eroded at great cost to students. This article reviews the problem of violence in public schools and summarizes existing knowledge on school violence prevention. Violence prevention programs that use educational, regulatory, technological or combined approaches are reviewed. Recommendations are presented addressing both policy and program needs related to control of violence in public schools. School health professionals should be active participants in violence prevention efforts. A critical need exists to carefully evaluate any planned prevention program so future efforts can be built on methods proven successful. (J Sch Health. 1994;64(8):309-313)
