Home Search Contact Us The Facts about School Violence In the wake of highly publicized school shootings, many have assumed that serious violence in schools is increasing dramatically. Yet while any violence in schools is a concern, actual statistics about the level and trends of violence in America's public schools are somewhat surprising. Zero Tolerance The message of zero tolerance is politically appealing, giving parents and communities the perception that schools are being tough on crime. Unfortunately, however, there is little or no evidence that zero tolerance can make a positive contribution to school safety or improved student behavior, and a good deal of evidence that the overuse of suspension and expulsion can be detrimental. A Comprehensive Model of School Violence Prevention Recently, a comprehensive model of preventive discipline has begun to emerge as the approach most likely to successfully address problems of school disruption and violence. Consistently, programs that effectively cut violence are proactive rather than reactive; involve families, students and the community; and include multiple components that can effectively address the complexity of school disruption and violence. Creating a Positive School Climate To some degree all students require instruction in appropriate methods of solving problems. At the level of school climate, preventive programs such as bullying prevention and conflict resolution teach all students alternatives to violence for resolving conflict.

PDF Strategies, Resources, and Contacts for Developing Comprehensive School Violence Prevention Programs This fact sheet outlines selected proven and promising prevention initiatives to encourage non-violence and foster positive relationships among diverse groups of students. It also describes key characteristics of successful school violence prevention programs, including contacts and resources that professionals can use to design violence prevention activities and gather additional information. Types of Violence Prevention Interventions That Are Most Likely to Have an Impact School violence is a complex problem, arising from a web of influences such as family and peer dynamics, school climate, community, and the wider culture. Since the causes of violent behavior in school are multi-faceted, strategies to address this issue must also operate on a variety of levels. Plans that are developed collaboratively by students, teachers, administrators, parents, health professionals, law enforcement officers, business and community leaders, and other key community groups are more likely to succeed than those prepared by a single group of professionals acting alone. Characteristics of Effective School-Based Violence Prevention Programs A strong commitment to reaching all students and staff with the message that violence, harassment, and intolerance are unacceptable in the school environment.

Recently, The Challenge had the opportunity to speak with William Modzeleski, director of the U.S. Department of Education's Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program, about the latest developments in the field of school violence prevention and what schools can do to help make learning environments even safer. The Challenge What's the most important thing teachers and parents need to know about school violence? William Modzeleski: The key thing to remember is that schools are extremely safe places. Ninety percent of schools report no serious violent crime; 40 percent of schools report no crime at all. All of the leading indicators show us that youth drug use and involvement in violence are on the decline. Schools are safer now in 2001 than they were five years ago. But we can make them even safer. The Challenge How? William Modzeleski: First, it's a matter of focusing on real problems, rather than perceived ones. For example, there is a very small population of students who have been affected by targeted school shootings. Yet, 7 million students are bullied each year; 20 million are truant. Columbine and other high-visibility school shootings have driven us to focus our resources on the very top of the school violence pyramid, even though less than 1 percent of students in less than 1 percent of the schools are affected by those kinds of rare instances. Of course, it's important to attend to and prevent school shootings, but we can't forget the very bottom of the school violence pyramidissues of bullying and other problem behaviorsbecause those are the issues that bubble to the top and eventually become crises.

Solutions to School Violence Inoculate Schools Against Violence Through Reducing Stress and Frustration School violence continues to afflict American schools. This site presents a solution that is basic and extensively researched. It can be used as a stand-alone program or complement other approaches for reducing violence. An effective solution to a problem must deal with its causes. While there are many contributors to school violence, the most basic is individual and collective stress. Stress unbalances thinking and warps moral sensibilities. A truly effective solution to school violence must deal with this cause. The Consciousness-Based SM approach to school peace brings a solution to the problem of stress by utilizing two thoroughly researched technologies for reducing individual and collective stress, promoting psychological development, and increasing mental clarity. These two technologies are the decrease individual stress and anxiety reduce aggressiveness, suspicion, resentment, and hostility decrease alcohol and drug abuse reduce criminal recidivism reduce social stress increase tolerance and self-actualization improve academic achievement and contributing psychological factors Practice of these technologies has been incorporated in numerous educational and correctional settings , including schools, after school programs, probation programs, and prisons.

Regional Prevention Center of the Flint Hills "Local people solve local problems." Increasingly, adults across the state are becoming concerned about the healthy development of young people and are searching for answers to the problems of substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout. The Regional Prevention Center of the Flint Hills (RPCFH) is working to build a strong foundation of community support for the reduction of these adolescent problem behaviors. By assisting communities in building the capacity to address youth health and behavior problems, we are empowering them at a local level to create safe and healthy environments for youth to live, learn, and grow. Based in Emporia, Kansas, the RPCFH provides resources, training, consultation, and technical assistance to the eleven counties comprising the Flint Hills region. Although the services we provide are diverse, our intent is singular: to reduce the factors that place youth at risk for alcohol and drug abuse, while increasing factors that protect, or buffer, youth from risk. Such a risk-focused approach allows communities to be proactive in the fight against youth involvement in alcohol, drugs, violence, delinquency, and other high-risk activities. Be part of the solution. Contact the RPCFH for information concerning risk-focused prevention and things you can do to protect Kansas' most valuable resource - our children.

Introduction What You Can Do Helpful Links References Introduction top In the last few years, a great deal of media attention has been focused on school shootings. This has led many teens to become concerned about their own safety, wondering whether such tragic violence could happen in their schools. However, in terms of risk for homicide, schools are about the safest place for teens-safer than their homes or their neighborhoods-and violent deaths at schools or school events are extremely rare. Less than 1% of the murders of children and teens in the United States are school-related, and there is no evidence that school-related homicides are on the rise. You are much more likely to be struck by lightening than to be killed at your school. In the 1998-99 school year, a total of 34 children and teens were murdered on school property, at a school event, or on their way to and from school.
