Book Synopsis
There is new concern about school violence, and police have assumed greater responsibility for helping school officials ensure students'' safety. As pressure increases to place officers in schools, police agencies must decide how best to contribute to student safety. Will police presence on campuses most enhance safety? If police cannot or should not be on every campus, can they make other contributions to student safety? What are good approaches and practices? Perhaps more than any other school safety problem, bullying affects students'' sense of security. The most effective ways to prevent or lessen bullying require school administrators'' commitment and intensive effort; police interested in increasing school safety can use their influence to encourage schools to address the problem. This book provides police with information about bullying in schools, its extent and its causes, and enables police to steer schools away from common remedies that have proved ineffective elsewhere, and to develop ones that will work. Bullying is widespread and perhaps the most underreported safety problem on American school campuses.
