Home I Contact I Site Map CSPV School Violence Fact Sheets Safe School Planning FS-SV09 Schools can no longer be seen as islands of safety because violence has invaded far too many of the nation's schools. Nearly 3 million index crimes occur on or around American school campuses which is 16,000 crimes per school day or about 1 every 6 seconds when schools are in session. Violence in schools has been affected by the changing climate for public education including more children of teenage parents; more latch key children and more developmentally delayed children requiring more special education classes. The varied cultural and ethnic makeup of inner city student populations has also created social stress within schools. Alcohol, drugs and gangs all contribute to school violence.

How dangerous are our schools? News coverage of school shootings inflamed public fears, but there is solid evidence that youth violence inside and outside of schools has declined substantially since 1994. More Can we identify dangerous students? Columbine had a lasting impact on school safety policies and practices. Studies by the FBI and by the Secret Service and U.S. Department of Education have advised schools to develop threat assessment teams in order to respond to student threats of violence. What is threat assessment? We have developed and field-tested guidelines for student threat assessment which are now being used in schools across the country.

Where To Go For More Information Violence Prevention Bullying What is Bullying? Bullying is usually defined as intentional, repeated, hurtful acts, words, or other behavior committed by one or more children against another. It may be physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual in nature, and unfortunately it is quite common - approximately 7 million bullying incidents take place in our nation's schools each year. Bullying victims can suffer far more than physical harm. Grades may suffer because attention is drawn away from learning, and this fear may lead to truancy or dropping out. Victims may become withdrawn and depressed, and if the problem persists, they may feel compelled to take drastic measures, such as fighting back, carrying a weapon, or even suicide. Bullies themselves are also at risk for long-term negative outcomes. Several studies suggest that bullying in early childhood may be an early sign of the development of violent tendencies, delinquency, and other criminal behavior. Educators, parents, and children concerned with violence prevention must also be concerned with bullying and its link to other violent behaviors.

Learn what you can do to keep bullying behavior from poisoning your school. Included: Practical tips for changing the behavior of bullies and their victims. In 1982, three Norwegian boys, ages 10 through 14, committed suicide, apparently as a result of severe bullying by their classmates. The event triggered shock and outrage, led to a national campaign against bullying behavior, and finally, resulted in the development of a systematic school-based bullying intervention program. That program, developed by psychologist Dan Olweus, was tested with more than 2,500 students in Bergen, Norway. Within two years, incidents of school bullying had dropped by more than 50 percent. Since then, a number of countries, including England, Germany, and the United States, have implemented Olweus's program with similar results.
