• Campus Attacks: Targeted Violence Affecting Institutions of Higher Education

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  Implemented by the United States Secret Service's National Threat Assessment Center, the Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Behavioral Analysis Unit, this study endeavors to understand the scope of the problem of targeted violence at institutions of higher education (IHEs). "This report offers preliminary findings from a review of 272 incidents of violence that affected IHEs in the United States from 1900 through 2008. [The authors] address fundamental questions regarding where, when, and how these incidents occurred, and captured information concerning the offenders and their relationship to the IHEs. When possible, [they also identify] factors that may have motivated or triggered the attacks."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "Our nation's schools should be safe havens for teaching and learning, free of crime and violence. Any instance of crime or violence at school not only affects the individuals involved, but also may disrupt the educational process and affect bystanders, the school itself, and the surrounding community (Henry 2000). Establishing good indicators of the current state of school crime and safety across the nation and regularly updating and monitoring these indicators is important in ensuring the safety of our nation's students. This is the aim of Indicators of School Crime and Safety. This report is the fourteenth in a series of annual publications produced jointly by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Institute of Education Sciences (IES), in the U.S. Department of Education, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in the U.S. Department of Justice. This report presents the most recent data available on school crime and student safety. The indicators in this report are based on information drawn from a variety of data sources, including national surveys of students, teachers, and principals. Sources include results from a study of violent deaths in schools, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the National Crime Victimization Survey and School Crime Supplement to the survey, sponsored by the BJS and NCES, respectively; the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and the Schools and Staffing Survey and School Survey on Crime and Safety, both sponsored by NCES. The most recent data collection for each indicator varied by survey, from 2007 to 2010."

• Final Report of the Federal Commission on School Safety

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Disclaimer: "The Federal Commission on School Safety was designed to both research and recommend solutions to advance the safety of our schools. The Commission's observations and recommendations are contained in this report. The Commission recognizes that the problem of school violence is long-standing and complex and that there are certain limits to what the federal government can do. This Commission was not established to provide a single solution to this problem, nor did the Commissioners set out to mandate uniform policy to every community. In fact, it is our considered belief that doing so would prove counterproductive. There can be no 'one-size-fits-all' approach for an issue this complex. [...] In the pages that follow, the Commission makes recommendations that address multiple aspects of school safety. It does so based on the insights, experiences, and expertise of a wide range of individuals. The recommendations are predicated on the policies already working in state and local communities. They outline steps we all can take--families, communities, schools, houses of worship, law enforcement, medical professionals, government, and others. Each of us has a role to play in improving the safety of our students and the security of our schools. Only by working together can we help prevent future tragedies and, when those incidents do occur, mitigate their effects and continue to learn from them."

  From the Background: "From the time of the horrific February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School through the present, the Trump Administration has committed considerable time and resources to determine the best practices and policies to prevent future tragedies and keep our students safe. Consisting of the Secretaries of Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security and the Attorney General, the Federal Commission on School Safety presented its final report of best practices and policies to President Trump in December 2018. The report acknowledges that the problem of school violence is longstanding and complex, that each state is different, and that there are certain limits to what the federal government can do. Indeed, the report recognizes there is 'no universal school safety plan that will work for every school across the country' and that '[s]uch a prescriptive approach by the federal government would be inappropriate, imprudent, and ineffective.'"

  "Each school day, our nation's schools are entrusted to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for approximately 55 million elementary and secondary school students in public and nonpublic schools. Families and communities expect schools to keep their children and youths safe from threats (human-caused emergencies such as crime and violence) and hazards (natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and accidents). In collaboration with their local government and community partners, schools can take steps to plan for these potential emergencies through the creation of a school Emergency Operations Plan (school EOP). Lessons learned from school emergencies highlight the importance of preparing school officials and first responders to implement emergency operations plans. By having plans in place to keep students and staff safe, schools play a key role in taking preventative and protective measures to stop an emergency from occurring or reduce the impact of an incident. Although schools are not traditional response organizations, when a school-based emergency occurs, school personnel respond immediately. They provide first aid, notify response partners, and provide instructions before first responders arrive. They also work with their community partners, i.e., governmental organizations that have a responsibility in the school emergency operations plan to provide a cohesive, coordinated response. Community partners include first responders (law enforcement officers, fire officials, and emergency medical services personnel) as well as public and mental health entities. in public and nonpublic schools. Families and communities expect schools to keep their children and youths safe from threats (human-caused emergencies such as crime and violence) and hazards (natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and accidents).
