Yang, Lang; Gopalan, Maithreyi – Education Finance and Policy, 2023
Between 1999 and 2018, 210 shootings have occurred on public school campuses in the United States.

Council of the Great City Schools, 2023
Gun violence and school shootings have become more prevalent in recent years, and beginning in 2017, firearm-related injuries became the most common cause of injury-related death for children ages 1 to 24.

A joint report from the National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Department of Education concluded that children and youth were 87 times more likely to die by murder or suicide outside of school than in it.

Richard K. Parker – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, changed law enforcement policy and practice forever. At a glance, one could argue that this was the seminal moment in U.S. law enforcement history where traditional police officer training and equipment quickly transitioned to training and equipment that some argue is more conducive to soldiers on a…

Annalyn S. DeMello; Yu Lu; Jeff R. Temple – Journal of Applied Research on Children, 2021
The increased publicity of mass shootings and the COVID-19 pandemic have fueled American demand for firearm purchases.

We support…

Jonson, Cheryl Lero; Moon, Melissa M.; Hendry, Joseph A. – Journal of School Violence, 2020

While a majority of schools conduct active…
