NIJ held a virtual conference on school safety, with a focus on “Bridging Research to Practice to Safeguard Our Schools.” The recordings from the three-day event are now available and can be accessed on the NIJ website.
This year’s conference included guest speakers from the nationwide school safety community, including several National Center for School Safety researchers, topic experts, and National Advisory Board members. The projects featured during the event are some of the nearly 100 funded through the NIJ Comprehensive School Safety Initiative and the STOP School Violence Act. Breakout sessions and roundtable discussions included a focus on school safety issues and the relevant evidence-based practices to address them.
