Compreensive Framework for School Violence Prevention
October 25, 2000
A comprehensive approach to school safety involves meeting several challenges at the same time. It requires a careful examination of the people, relationships, resources, activities, facilities, and surrounding neighborhoods that make up the school community. Because examining such a wide array of factors can be overwhelming, the framework breaks down what needs to be done into several clear and concise steps. Recommended strategies include: administrative approaches, school security, monitoring incidents, schoolwide education in violence prevention, counseling, alternative education, small group interventions, crisis management, and others.
