School violence

Research shows that a substantial proportion of teachers experience victimization from their students & are often dissatisfied by the school’s response. Teachers tended to be more satisfied with that response if the environment fosters procedural justice.

Growing evidence supports using situational and developmental crime prevention approaches to complement traditional law enforcement and criminal justice interventions to combat sexual violence.

Anonymous reporting systems only work if the whole school community learns when and how to use them.

To increase knowledge and aid prevention efforts, the research community must develop a strategy to source, code, check, and analyze the data surrounding rare violent incidents.
