Abstract

This brief by the US Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs provides an overview on school safety, statistics, and information about safety training , resources, and funding opportunities to improve school safety. High-profile tragedies often shape public opinion on school safety. However, for educators, law enforcement personnel and others working to keep our schools safe, mental health resources and issues such as crime and bullying are also important components of school safety planning.
