The Handbook of School Violence addresses the Causes
of School Violence, the Prevention of School Violence, and
Interventions in Cases of School Violence. The Handbook
features:
• an Internet site - - http://genesislight.com/hsv%20files/
- - that brings scholars and practitioners together to invent
online and print products for school violence prevention
and intervention;
• writing from new scholars, blended with the work
of some veteran authors, to provide a foundation for creative
thinking about school violence prevention and intervention;
• a new look at how “connectedness” with
family, school, and with academic success influence school
violence;
• means to prevent school violence using (a) threat
assessment techniques, (b) peer mediation programs, (c)
empathy with youngsters involved in gangs, and (d) approaches
for reducing weapons in schools.
• a focus on crisis intervention and support services
which is rooted in field-based experience with school violence,
particularly, in the aftermath of the Santana High School
shootings (March 5, 2001) in San Diego, California.
• an overview of how various domains of human functioning
contribute to understanding the causes of school violence
and to developing strategies for school violence prevention
and intervention.
