This comprehensive, evidence-based examination looks at violence
and security across the entire spectrum of education, from
preschool through college. In Violence and Security on Campus: From
Preschool through College two expert authors take an evidence-based
look at this important issue, dispelling myths and misconceptions
about the problem and offering appropriate responses to it. Their
book examines patterns, trends, correlations, and causes of
violence, crime, and disorder in diverse educational settings, from
elementary schools through colleges and universities. It reviews
data and research evidence related to forms of violence, from
bullying to murder, and it explores the varied security concerns
that confront schools of different levels. In addition to
describing the nature and extent of the school violence problem,
which is often divergent from media reports, the authors point to
other security issues that need to be considered and addressed by
administrators and security personnel. Finally, they assess a
variety of policy responses and security solutions—some popular
yet ineffective, some challenging yet promising—offering advice
that will enhance the security of any institution of learning.
