Abstract
AbstractThis special issue on School Safety and School Violence includes two “lead papers”: A clinical‐research summary of current understandings about school safety/violence trends as well as individual, instructional and school‐wide prevention/health promotion recommendations; and a case study of a school threat situation and the resulting clinical process of understanding and addressing this school violence threat. The ensuing seven papers focus on a range of ecologically informed school violence and safety‐related perspectives as well as commenting—appreciatively and critically—on the two lead papers. Although physical violence in schools is ebbing, social‐emotional violence continues to be pervasive and profoundly toxic phenomena in K‐12 schools around the world. The articles in this special issue address understanding and school violence prevention as well as promoting school safety from multiple vantage points.
