Overview of School Violence: Causes and Current Statistics

Recent trends in the U.S. show that incidents of serious violence at schools are declining. However, bullying, gang relations and interpersonal relationships remain a high concern.

Psychological Aspects of Youth Violence

Administrators and officials must stay alert to recognize distress signs in students. In addition, they need to be aware of "targeted violence," which is harder to spot.

Prevention Methods and Preparedness

Government, law enforcement and school administrators have joined together in communities across the nation to create programs to intervene before violent attacks can occur.
