Abstract
In this chapter, we delve into the psychological and social costs of lethal school violence (LSV), both to students and to faculty/staff/administrators of the schools. We describe the impact of LSV on students with regard to fear and anxiety, including issues related to psychological trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other psychological sequelae. We then address the effects on students with respect to attendance and academic performance. LSV also negatively impacts school personnel. We again address issues of fear and anxiety (PTSD and other psychological effects) among school personnel who are exposed to a lethal incident at school. We also report on the consequences of LSV on the health of school personnel and conclude with the impact on teachers’ work performance.
