Wood, Brandon; Hampton, Eric – Journal of School Violence, 2022
Calls to weaponize teachers with guns as a means of enhanced school safety and protection against a school shooting have intensified in recent years.

Highberger, James; Wang, Wenjin; Brittingham, Rochelle – Journal of School Violence, 2022
Scholars have explored ways in which school shooting events have impacted students' perception of safety.

Using the state of Georgia as a backdrop, this paper highlights the current state of the GFSA (Gun-Free Schools Act) in the United States of America, initially enacted in 1994, 30 years later. The progress of school-based ZTPs (Zero Tolerance Policies) in practice shows that progress remains slow a quarter of a century later. In response, this…

Chambers, Drew – Educational Theory, 2022
In this essay, Drew Chambers argues that the implementation of modern security technology in American schools (also known as target hardening) may do more harm than good, especially when such technologies represent the primary mode of risk responsiveness. In using technological measures to reduce risk, schools may inadvertently undermine both…

Landrum, Timothy J.; Sweigart, Chris A.; Collins, Lauren W. – Educational Leadership, 2019
It's hard to imagine anything more devastating than a deadly shooting at a school. The setting (often thought of as among the safest places in our communities) and the ages of both victims and perpetrators are particularly troubling. The intense media coverage that typically follows a school shooting reinforces how disturbing such events are. As…
