Abstract
A paramount goal for educators of today’s youth is to provide a safe learning environment to foster positive academic and educational outcomes. Psychologists and educators call for adopting a prevention model for reducing the incidence and prevalence of school violence in current research efforts. This literature review serves to unify current understandings by adopting a risk and resiliency model of analysis. The goals of this article are to: (a) examine conceptualizations of school violence and theoretical frameworks invoked in current prevention programs, and (b) extract key findings from these programs and make recommendations for school psychologists. The argument will be made that most programs in the domain of school violence prevention overlook key principles of developmental psychology and ecological systems theory. School psychologists are in a unique position to apply current empirical understandings to existing violence-prevention programs through consultation models of service-delivery.
