A thorough overview of violence and crime in America's schools
explores which solutions work and which don't, providing a
framework for prevention at every level. Although it is major
incidents like Columbine or Virginia Tech that grab the headlines,
everyday occurrences of bullying, harassment, and physical
intimidation in schools impact entire communities, driving kids out
of public schools and destroying faith in public education.
Preventing Violence and Crime in America's Schools: From Put-Downs
to Lock-Downs provides educators, parents, law enforcement
officials, and other youth-serving professionals with a unique
perspective on the topic of school violence. More important, it
offers solutions to the problems facing all schools when it comes
to violence and safety. Two expert authors examine specifics
relating to school violence, opportunities to prevent and
intervene, and the importance of planning for a crisis. Most other
books about school violence either highlight the research or
highlight practitioner viewpoints. This revealing book presents
both, balancing insights gained through real-world experiences with
research on best practices. The result is a fuller understanding of
the problem-understanding that will enable solutions. 7 tables, 3
