This publication results from on ongoing collaboration between the
U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education. Its goals
are to determine whether it could have been known that incidents of
targeted violence at schools were being planned and whether
anything could have been done to prevent them from occurring.
Results from the Secret Service's Exceptional Case Study Project
(ECSP) are used to organize planning. This report describes the
Safe School Initiative, defines "targeted1'school violence, and
discusses the prevalence of school violence in American schools.
The methodology of this study, sources of information, and an
analysis of survey responses are also discussed. Incidents of
targeted school violence are characterized, including
characteristics of the.attacker, conceptualization of the attack,
and signaling, advancing, and resolving the attack. Implications of
study findings and the use of threat assessment as a strategy to
prevent school violence are presented. Appendix A lists incidents
of targeted school violence by state; Appendix B lists these
incidents by year; and Appendix C is a list of resources. Contact
information follows the appendices. (Contains 13 references and 2
Web site resources.).
