Education in a Violent World: Lessons Learned from American School Shootings

Abstract

Research indicates that there are almost a half million acts of violence in American schools annually with over 20% of high school students reporting that they have been bullied. School safety and security in these modern times is more than just policing – it is about connecting with students and parents. This study draws on the author’s recent book Education in a Violent World to discuss twenty-first century school safety issues and lessons learned from experiences across America.
