Clearinghouse on Educational Policy and Management Previous (Digest 093) Spanish Version Next (Digest 095) ERIC Digest 94 - March 1995 School Violence Prevention By Dean Walker Eighty-nine percent of respondents in 700 cities and towns surveyed by the National League of Cities in 1994 said that school violence is a problem in their community (Randy Arndt 1994). Researchers have identified several major causes for the increase in violent behavior, causes so entangled that attempting to address one while ignoring another is to risk failure altogether. Poverty, racism, unemployment, substance abuse, easy access to weapons, inadequate or abusive parenting practices, and frequent exposure to violence through the media are all culpable (National Association for the Education of Young Children 1993). Tactics to deal with the burgeoning violence of youth have been mostly one-dimensional, relying on removal of the offender by suspension or placement outside of the mainstream classroom. This can protect other students; however, it has proven ineffective in preventing children from developing criminal careers. Educators and psychologists are eyeing the prevention of violent behavior as both a more humane and more cost-effective response to this multidimensional problem (Hill Walker 1994).

The Scope of the Problem Cause for Concern Encouraging Signs Striving for Solutions ... References Compiled by Linda Lumsden, editor. The Scope of the Problem A series of shootings in school classrooms, hallways, and playgrounds during the past few years have underscored one of the chief responsibilities of school officials: preventing students from perpetrating or being victimized by violence or other antisocial behavior. Cause for Concern Because more than a dozen deadly attacks by students armed with guns have occurred in the nation's schools in the past two years (Lichtblau 1999), many people assume that violence and other criminal activity perpetrated by youth within the walls of our schools is a problem that has skyrocketed in the past few years. In reality, however, current data on youth crime and volence in this country provide reasons for both optimism and concern. The U.S. Department of Education's Annual Report on School Safety 1998

9. School Violence Prevention School districts are using the funds to help communities design and promote healthy childhood development, foster resilience, and prevent youth violence. http://www.mentalhealth.org/safeschools/default.asp

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Mental Health Services The Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative is a grant program designed to develop real-world knowledge about what works best to reduce school violence. During the first two years of the program, grants of $1 million to $3 million were awarded to 77 local school districts that have formal partnerships with local mental health and law enforcement agencies. Grant awards totaled $145 million. School districts are using the funds to help communities design and implement comprehensive educational, mental health, social service, law enforcement, and juvenile justice services for youth. These services are designed to promote healthy childhood development, foster resilience, and prevent youth violence. The underlying principles of the program are to: Marry security with healthy childhood development. Approach school violence as a public health issue. Offer comprehensive, coordinated services along the path of childhood development. Encourage partnerships among school districts, law enforcement agencies, and local mental health agencies.

10. Safe Schools Program, Mental Health Information Center Current grant information and programs for school violence designed to develop knowledge about what works best to reduce school violence. http://www.mentalhealth.org/schoolviolence/

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Mental Health Services Research shows that students feel increasingly unsafe during school, or traveling to and from school. A 1996 Children's Institute International Poll of American Adolescents revealed that 47 percent of all teens believed their schools were becoming more violent, 10 percent feared being shot or hurt by classmates carrying weapons to schools, and more than 20 percent were afraid to go to restrooms because these unsupervised areas were frequent sites of student victimization (National Center for Educational Statistics, 1998). In response to this alarming reality, the Federal government has allocated nearly $400 million to 97 communities to make schools safer, to foster children's healthy development and to prevent aggressive and violent behavior and drug and alcohol use among the nation's youth. The portion of Congressional allocation for CMHS-funded programs is targeted to improve mental health services for children with emotional and behavioral disorders who are at risk of violent behavior, and to focus on developing the integrated continuum of prevention, early intervention, and treatment. The CMHS initiative on school violence focuses on the collective involvement of families, communities, and schools to build resiliency to disruptive behavior disorders (for example, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). It is typically these children who are at risk of violence as perpetrators and victims. Untreated conduct disorders can develop into costly adult mental health and societal problems such as delinquency, substance use, and antisocial personality disorder.

13. SafeYouth.org - Elements Of Effective School Violence Prevention Plans Elements of Effective school violence prevention Plans. The report indicates that an effective school violence prevention plan must include three tiers http://www.safeyouth.org/scripts/faq/schoolplan.asp

Elements of Effective School Violence Prevention Plans Because school violence reflects the violence in our communities and neighborhoods, schools are most effective in confronting school violence when the community around them provides support. Many communities have been able to reduce school violence by developing comprehensive, integrated plans involving schools, social services, mental health providers, and law enforcement and juvenile justice authorities. In order to assist schools in developing and carrying out violence prevention and response plans, the Departments of Education and Justice and the American Institutes for Research developed a report, Safeguarding Our Children: An Action Guide (2000) . The report indicates that an effective school violence prevention plan must include three tiers: Schools must build a school-wide foundation for all children. This involves: supporting positive discipline, academic success, and mental and emotional wellness through a caring school environment; teaching students appropriate behaviors and problem solving skills; positive behavioral support; and appropriate academic instruction with engaging curricula and effective teaching practices. Schools must identify students at risk for severe academic or behavioral difficulties early on and create services and supports that address risk factors and build protective factors for them. It is important that staff be trained to recognize early warning signs and make appropriate referrals. Once students are identified, they must receive coordinated services that meet their individual needs. A number of approaches have been developed for interventions at this stage, including anger management training, structured after-school programs, mentoring, group and family counseling, changing instructional practices, and tutoring.

ERIC/CUE Digest Number 132. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Creating a school environment that is free of violence and drugs has become a public priority. Over time, the approach taken by schools to prevent violence evolved from quick fix interventions to social control strategies to sophisticated, multi-faceted,and long-term programs. The evolution occurred partly because of necessity: the historical approaches have not worked very well; an increase in student diversity, coupled with overcrowding, is exacerbating tension in schools; and school violence is escalating. There are now a great many different types of violence prevention programs. Some focus on working with individual children identified by teachers or peers as aggressive or at risk for school failure. Others combine a focus on individual and family risk by integrating school-based programs and work with parents and families, peers, or community members. Still other programs integrate an individual risk focus with attempts to change the school environment. Most strive both to increase student social competence and to reduce aggressive behavior.
