The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NIJ collaborated on a book that focuses on promising principles for gang membership prevention. This NIJ Conference Panel discusses the risk and protective factors that influence gang membership as well as efforts to reduce such factors. Panelists also explored the direction of gang research for the future.
For nearly 25 years, NIJ has funded a wide variety of research and evaluation projects to increase knowledge about what works to keep K-12 students safe and identify the root causes and consequences of school violence.
On this page, you will find links to articles, awards, events, publications, and multimedia related to school safety.
