School Violence Prevalence, Fears, and Prevention Jaana Juvonen School shootings such as the one at Columbine High School in 1999 have left deep scars in our nation. The apparently random nature of these highly publicized shootings has raised public fears to epidemic proportions. According to 2001 polls, more than 50 percent of parents with children in grades K-12 and 75 percent of secondary school students now think that a school shooting could occur in their community. Schools are taking a variety of measures to improve school safety. These include the use of metal detectors, the presence of security guards on campus, rules and regulations regarding student conduct and dress, profiling of potentially violent students, anti-bullying instructional programs, and counseling and mediation. Which of these approaches work? Which will reduce the incidence of violence in our schools and alleviate the fears of parents and children? How can school and district administrators choose among the myriad possibilities, and how can they know where to allocate precious resources? RAND examined the literature regarding these programs and found that only a handful have been evaluated, and even fewer have been deemed effective or even promising. The goal of this paper is to describe the options that are currently available for schools. An analysis of the key components of various approaches in terms of their potential positive and negative effects can assist in the selection of policies, programs, and procedures while we wait for evaluations to be conducted.

Hate Crimes Reports Hate Crimes Against People Experiencing Homelessness The June 2001 killing of Hector Robles in Paterson, NJ by a mob of high school boys saturated front pages and evening news reports with its horrid brutality and inexplicable motivation. Hidden from most living rooms, however, were a number of other shocking crimes committed nationwide against homeless people this year. A 22-year-old woman was stabbed almost 15 times and thrown into the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. A man was drenched with gasoline and set on fire in New York City. An army veteran in Ventura, CA, was beaten to death while resting in his sleeping bag. The term "hate crime" generally conjures up images of cross burnings and lynchings, swastikas on Jewish synagogues, and horrific murders of gays and lesbians. In 1968, the U.S. Congress defined a hate crime as a crime in which the defendant intentionally selects a victim, or in the case of a property crime, the property that is the object of the crime, because of their race, color or national origin (Title 18 U.S.C Section 245). The first federal law to combat hate crimes, 18 USC Section 245, passed in 1968; it mandated that the government must prove both that the crime occurred because of a victim's membership in a designated group and because the victim was engaged in certain specified federally-protected activities such as serving on a jury, voting, or attending public school.

behavior that law enforcement must address. IDENTIFYING PERPETRATORS OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE Communities must prepare for potential school violence from either of these groups. No standard profile of a school violent offender currently exists. At best, certain warning signs may indicate potential violence and specific factors may denote a greater likelihood of an individual carrying out violence. ADDRESSING SCHOOL VIOLENCE Prevention "While not every school may have to deal with a violent shooter, nearly every school experiences violent threats. " Mr. Hoang, former deputy chief of police for the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Police Department currently serves as an advisor to the Rockland County, New York, Police Academy. Various publications provide a comprehensive overview of school violence prevention programs and offer various steps communities can take to help prevent violence in their schools. First, communities should establish partnerships between schools and other public agencies. Because school violence remains a community problem, it requires collaboration from all residents, agencies, and businesses. Schools, police, business leaders, and elected officials all must cooperate to address school violence.

controlling violence based on school management. For example, this may entail establishing behavior and discipline codes, the use of criminal penalties against selected students, or the placement of problem students into alternative educational institutions. The final category, education and curriculum-based prevention techniques, could include teaching conflict resolution courses, establishing mentoring programs, developing self-esteem initiatives, or instituting community-oriented policing crime prevention efforts. After reviewing the various options, administrators should work with the entire community to carefully implement the selected prevention measures. Some preventive techniques may require additional resources, outside approval, or long-term planning to prove successful. Every community should include an early identification and intervention program in their school safety efforts. These programs help prevent school violence by educating parents, teachers, and students about the signs of potential violence and, ultimately, allow the troubled student to receive help before violence occurs. Another critical element of a school safety program involves a threat management plan. While not every school may have to deal with a violent shooter, nearly every school experiences violent threats.

About the Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA) - the Federal Hate Crimes Bill (formerly LLEEA - Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act) I. Terminology Gender refers to the way we perceive certain things to be masculine or feminine. These things need not be human; for example, in the language of many cultures, cups are feminine, and pencils masculine. In people, we tend to associate gender - that is, masculine and feminine meanings - with features that include: Gender Characteristics primary and secondary physical sexual characteristics such as genitals, height, weight, musculature, or body hair; Gender Expression how a person manifests a fundamental sense of themselves as masculine or feminine and male or female, including dress, posture, vocal inflection, and so on. Sexual Orientation gay men are often automatically assumed to be effeminate or at least more feminine than their heterosexual counterparts, and vice versa for lesbian women Gender Identity refers to an individual's self-awareness or fundamental sense of themselves as being masculine or feminine, and male or female, and is commonly used to refer to transsexual or transgender individuals.

Fitzsimons Fight Crime: Invest in Kids From America's Front Line Against Crime: A School and Youth Violence Prevention Plan As an organization of more than of police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, crime survivors and leaders of police officer organizatons, we are determined to see that dangerous criminals are put behind bars. But anyone who thinks that jailing a criminal undoes the agony crime leaves in its wake hasn't seen crime up close. America's anti-crime arsenal contains no weapons more powerful than the proven programs that help kids get the right start in lifeprograms like school readiness child care, youth development programs for the after-school and summer hours, child abuse prevention, and intervention programs proven to help get troubled kids back on track. Yet today, inadequate funding for Head Start, school readiness child care, after-school youth development programs and counseling for troubled kids leaves millions of children at needless risk of becoming violent or delinquent teens and adult criminalsand leaves every American at needless risk of becoming a victim. We call on all public officials to adopt a four-part plan to dramatically reduce crime and violence, and help young people learn the skills and values they need to become good neighbors and responsible adults. While no plan can prevent every violent act, this common-sense planbased on our experience and the latest research about what really works to fight crimecan make all of us safer.

Contact IVPA About the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority (IVPA) Authority History Established by the Illinois Violence Prevention Act of 1995, the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority (IVPA) is the first state agency of its kind dedicated to violence prevention in the United States. In creating the IVPA, the Illinois State Legislature recognized the need for a comprehensive, collaborative public health and public safety approach to violence prevention. Primary Goals In keeping with its mandate, the IVPA has defined five main goals: Develop and implement a statewide plan for violence prevention Fund local and statewide anti-violence programs Coordinate existing violence prevention initiatives and encourage collaborative projects Evaluate and provide technical assistance for violence prevention programming Conduct public education and awareness efforts about violence and its prevention Background on Primary Goals Planning The IVPA’s planning document, "Building a Safe Illinois: A Violence Prevention Plan for Illinois", outlines the scope of interpersonal violence in Illinois and presents the risk factors and best practices associated with violence prevention. Based on this information and a survey of the violence prevention field, the IVPA has developed a 3-year anti-violence program that includes funding priorities and implementation strategies.

100. Youth Violence Working Group Final Report which the subgroup believes represent substantial consensus within the law enforcementcommunity on the causes and prevention of youth violence, and which http://www.house.gov/dunn/workinggroup/wkgle.htm

The Law Enforcement Working Subgroup was asked to develop recommendations regarding the role of law enforcement agencies and officials (including police, prosecutors, judges, parole and probation officers and corrections officials) in reducing youth violence in America. The subgroup convened a round table discussion on September 15, 1999 to solicit the views of a wide range of outside experts (listed on Appendix A). The presentations revealed a number of recurring themes which the subgroup believes represent substantial consensus within the law enforcement community on the causes and prevention of youth violence, and which provided a foundation for the subgroup's recommendations. Law enforcement officials are uniquely positioned to take a leadership role in forging relationships with parents, educators, community- and faith-based organizations, and social service agencies. These types of efforts can help identify at-risk youth, educate them on the seriousness of criminal activity, and prevent them from committing crimes, or graduating to more serious criminal offenses. The federal government can play an important role in support of these efforts. However, it is important that federal funds be directed toward programs that get results, and that federally-supported programs be subject to rigorous evaluation.
