NIJ School Safety Research and Evaluation
What We Have Learned
With approximately 100 studies completing in recent years, NIJ has sought to aggregate and disseminate findings from these studies. Some projects studied the root causes and consequences of school violence, while others evaluated innovative school safety strategies. This dissemination effort is intended to assess what we have learned, help...
