Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to determine what differences existed between incidences of violence in high schools with a mandatory uniform policy and schools with no mandatory policy in one school district located in the central part of the United States. Nineteen schools, 10 with no mandatory uniform policy and nine with a policy, served as the setting for the study. Data were collected for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 school years and consisted of archival demographic data retrieved from the school district website and incidences of school violence as measured by Violent Crime and Incident Reports (VCIRs). The research question queried if there was a statistically significant difference in incidences of school violence in high schools with a mandatory uniform policy compared to high schools with no mandatory uniform policy as measured by the Violent Crime and Incident Reports. Bandura's theory of learned behavior and rational choice theory formed the theoretical foundations of the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 21.0. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and inferential statistics (t test for independent samples) associated with this design was used. The t test examined the dependent variable (incidences of school violence) on each of the two levels of the independent variable for statistically significant differences. Findings showed there was no statistically significant difference in incidences of school violence between the two groups of schools. Therefore, in efforts to further establish safe climates, school leaders might want to consider alternatives such as metal detectors, resource officers, cameras, and character education programs to help reduce incidences of school violence.

Book excerpt: This research sought to explore the link between mandatory school uniforms and a positive school climate. Beginning in the late 1980's public schools implemented mandatory school uniforms policies in urban school districts. The trend gained momentum when President Clinton included school uniforms in his 1996 State of the Union Address. Directly following the speech was a publication by the United States Department of Education on school uniforms that was distributed to all school districts in the country. Often the primary reason for implementing school uniforms was gang violence. Other reason included increased school safety and decreases in violence. Further, proponents believed uniforms would increase academic achievement and improve school climate. Research on the effects of school uniforms is limited and conflicting. Most studies available to date were conducted in urban settings. However, school uniforms have infiltrated rural and suburban schools districts as well. Two school districts in suburban Eastern Pennsylvania participated in this study. One school district had a mandatory school uniform policy. The other did not. Using a school climate survey and school uniform questionnaire, students in grades 4-6 and elementary school teachers rated the school climate in their respective schools. School climate was rated on seven subscales on the student school climate survey and 10 subscales on the faculty school climate survey. A t-test was performed on the data set to determine the difference between sample means and a factor analysis was conducted on the student school climate survey. Further, three themes emerged from the short answer questions on the student uniform questionnaire. The results of the research found that there was not a statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and elementary school students' perceptions of school climate. Of the seven subscales, students who wore school uniforms rated their peer relationships higher than students without school uniforms. Additionally, they rated the required rigor higher. Students that did not wear school uniforms rated the teacher-student relationship higher. When responding to the open ended questions, three themes emerged. They were expression, atmosphere and family. In essence, students were not in favor of wearing uniforms and believed uniforms suppressed their freedom of expression. Teachers responded similarly. The results showed no statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and teacher perceptions of school climate. Only two subscales showed any significant difference between the two groups of teachers. They were teacher-administrator relationship and student achievement. In both respects, teachers in the district without uniforms responded more positively. The results of this study should be used when reviewing current policy or considering new policy on school uniforms.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study incorporated a multiple-methods design utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative portion investigated several annual reports distributed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (ncdpi) to explore the impact of school uniform policies on incidents of crime and violence and occurrences of suspensions and expulsions in North Carolina high schools that adopted such policies during the 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008, and 2008-2009 school years. The qualitative portion of this study examined an eight-item researcher-developed Likert-type survey distributed to all current North Carolina administrators working in the high schools where school uniform polices were adopted during the designated time period in an attempt to gauge their perceptions of how the adopted policy had changed the safety of their schools and their campuses. The data analysis indicated no change to the incidents of crime and violence and occurrences of suspensions for the majority of the thirty-eight high schools being examined in this study, although the school administrators working in these schools perceived school uniforms to positively impact school safety. The data for expulsions had to be omitted due to limited numbers. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling the difficult and charged topic of weaponized school violence, A Relentless Threat: Scholars Respond to Teens on Weaponized School Violence examines some of the root causes that lead teen shooters to make the decision to kill their teachers and peers. This research and commentary on gun violence in U.S. schools positions the reader to understand its historical and political context and to reflect on its social and emotional causes. The book explores potential solutions to this uniquely American phenomenon through a variety of scholarly lenses. With a focus on research and pragmatic solutions, these academics respond directly to individual teen voices in an effort to recognize those stakeholders most often dismissed. This book includes discussion on U.S. firearms policy, ostracism, bullying, social media, capitalizing on shooter events, and programs in schools to prevent violence. A Relentless Threat: Scholars Respond to Teens on Weaponized School Violence establishes the groundwork for the second book by the editors (Dress Rehearsals for Gun Violence: Confronting Trauma and Anxiety in America’s Schools) by examining how we got to this point and what actions may be taken to stop future rampage shootings in schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics are appalling. Between 8% and 10% of U.S. high school students carry guns to school every day. In a typical mid-size city, 30 to 50 cases of school violence are reported daily, and half of these cases involve guns. School Violence: Assessment, Treatment, Prevention shows us the reality behind the statistics. Its distinguished contributors include leading clinicians, researchers, school counselors, and legal authorities who closely examine every aspect of this complex epidemic, challenging us to solve this multifaceted public health problem and offering concrete recommendations on how to do it. The comprehensive volume is divided into four parts: Part I, Contributing Factors, presents the multiple contributing factors, including those involved in creating violent children and violence-prone schools, the nature and context of school violence, and its biological and cultural causes. For example, although the number of violent deaths by shooting in schools remained stable through the 1990s, the number of violent acts against female students increased significantly, as did gang activity and the availability of guns in schools. Part II, Assessment and Management, details diagnostic assessment, management, and treatment of children and adolescents who have the potential for or have threatened school violence. Eyewitnesses describe the shootings and their aftermaths in Pearl, Mississippi, and Littleton, Colorado, including the extensive measures taken to decrease the traumatic effect of these incidents on the children and adolescents and their families, the educators, and the community at large. Also presented is a model for time-limited, cognitive-behavioral group therapy for those who sustain or witness violent injuries in schools -- a model that could be adapted to other settings. Part III, Legal Aspects, begins by putting us on notice that anyone aware of a potentially violent act by a youth has a legal responsibility to alert the intended victim(s) and others who could warn or protect them, offering a uniquely insightful view -- by the plaintiff attorney for the victims of school violence in Paducah, Kentucky -- of the Tarasoff case and its ramifications. Part IV, Prevention, concludes with what we can do now to help prevent school violence, detailing effective prevention measures that range from the innovative (a method that focuses on the school as a whole rather than on individuals and uses a social system and power-dynamics perspective) to the everyday (teaching tolerance and conflict resolution). Psychiatric practitioners, clinical social workers, pediatricians, art and activity therapists, school counselors and administrators, and other educators and mental health care professionals -- and concerned adults -- who want to help prevent violence in our schools and minimize its traumatic effects on children, parents, and the community at large will appreciate this lucid, in-depth treatment of what has become one of today's most disturbing issues.
