Abstract

Abstract School violence, and particularly, school shootings, remain a serious concern among parents, community members, educators, and governmental leadership at the local, state, and national levels. While school shootings periodically dominate media coverage of school safety issues, schools are among the safest places for students in the community. This article unpacks key issues central to the field. We provide an overview of school violence program coherence, curriculum alignment, staff development, support systems to meet student needs, and related capacity issues. The article also explores issues not commonly included in the school safety literature such as gangs and weapons in school and the conflation of mental health problems and violent behavior. We offer take-away implications from the extant literature that is relevant for schools.

学校安全主要与校园枪击案有关吗?为该领域提供研究指导

校园暴力，尤其是校园枪击事件，一直是家长、社区成员、教育工作者以及地方、州和国家各级政府领导严重关注的问题。虽然校园枪击案定期占据媒体对学校安全问题的报道，但学校是社区中学生最安全的地方之一。本文剖析了该领域的核心问题。我们概述了学校暴力项目的一致性、课程一致性、员工发展、满足学生需求的支持系统以及相关的能力问题。这篇文章还探讨了学校安全文献中不常见的问题，比如学校里的帮派和武器，以及心理健康问题和暴力行为的合并。我们从现存的文献中提供了与学校相关的启示。

期刊介绍： Preventing School Failure provides a forum in which to examine critically emerging and evidence-based practices that are both data driven and practical for children and youth in general and alternative education systems. Authors are afforded the opportunity to discuss and debate critical and sometimes controversial issues that affect the education of children and adolescents in various settings. Preventing School Failure is a peer-reviewed academic journal for administrators, educators, mental health workers, juvenile justice and corrections personnel, day and residential treatment personnel, staff-development specialists, teacher educators, and others. Our goal is to share authoritative and timely information with a wide-ranging audience dedicated to serving children and adolescents in general education, special education, and alternative education programs. We accept for review manuscripts that contain critical and integrated literature reviews, objective program evaluations, evidence-based strategies and procedures, program descriptions, and policy-related content. As appropriate, manuscripts should contain enough detail that readers are able to put useful or innovative strategies or procedures into practice.
