Safe Passage: A Guide to Addressing School Violence offers expert
perspectives and guidance in understanding, assessing, and
addressing school violence. Although the book is designed for child
and adolescent forensic psychiatrists and psychologists seeking
proficiency in youth violence risk assessment, educators, school
administrators, mental health clinicians, other health care
professionals who work with children, and interested laypersons
will also find the book both practical and illuminating. The
editors' approach to school violence is informed by their
educational, scholarly, clinical, and forensic work with children
and adults who have been disenfranchised through the cumulative
effects of poverty, trauma, untreated mental illness, and
inadequate access to education. This background has fostered a
sensitivity to and understanding of critically important
developmental factors that can be passed on generationally, which
are explored in depth in the volume. Case vignettes and follow-ups
are used liberally to illustrate and illuminate the range of
violent situations (e.g., bullying, cyberbullying, gang violence,
sexual violence) likely to be encountered, as well as the
advantages and disadvantages inherent in various interventions. The
authors stress that threat assessment must take individual, school,
and community variables into account, a complex but necessary task
for mental health professionals and educators who wish to safeguard
individuals and society from harm. This book provides a road map
for understanding and addressing violence of all kinds in the
school environment: * The subtyping of aggression is thoroughly
explored, with special focus on reward-seeking behaviors and the
development of impulse control in adolescents. * Identifying
students at risk for violence or abuse at home is of critical
importance. The chapter on danger at home teaches the reader to
recognize trauma symptoms and examines the necessary steps toward
establishing a trauma-informed or trauma-sensitive school
environment.* In violence risk assessment, every student is
evaluated in relation to static risk factors (historical variables
that cannot be changed), dynamic risk factors (risk factors that
are amenable to change) and protective factors. The authors
emphasize that violence risk is characterized along a continuum
rather than in binary fashion.* Case law is cited where relevant
throughout the book, providing context for the evolution of school
policies toward violence.* Key points and clinical pearls at the
end of each chapter provide convenient summaries of information and
help the reader focus on the most important ideas. Compassionate
and comprehensive, Safe Passage: A Guide to Addressing School
Violence introduces readers to important concepts pertaining to
school violence and serves as a practical guide for mitigating and
preventing violence in our schools.
